Why teams connect Adobeanalytics and Citus

Give Adobeanalytics the users, events, and records that live in Citus in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Adobeanalytics computes back into Citus where your applications read them.

Adobeanalytics is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Citus, so Citus always reflects the current state of Adobeanalytics — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Adobeanalytics is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Citus into Adobeanalytics usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Common use cases

  • 01 Load report data on a schedule into a reporting database for executive dashboards without manual Analysis Workspace exports or Report Builder pulls.
  • 02 Sync Segment definitions into a marketing database so downstream tools target the same audiences Adobe Analytics computes.
  • 03 Consolidate per-tenant rows from distributed tables into per-customer reporting databases.
  • 04 Sync high-volume event or tenant data from a Citus cluster into a warehouse for cross-tenant analytics.

Common sync patterns

Where Adobeanalytics tracks product events: behavior onto stored records

Signup, usage, and lifecycle events captured in Adobeanalytics sync into Citus as rows, so applications and internal tools can read behavioral data next to the records they already keep.

Where Adobeanalytics builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Adobeanalytics sync back into Citus, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.

Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline

The users, events, orders, and records stored in Citus land in Adobeanalytics as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

What you can sync between Adobeanalytics and Citus

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Adobeanalytics objects Citus objects How this pairing syncs
Reports Core reporting endpoint (POST /reports on analytics.adobe.io); returns ranked or trended report data for chosen metrics broken down by dimensions over a date range, with optional segment filters. The main dataset Stacksync reads out. Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Reports is specific to Adobeanalytics and Views to Citus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions Available report dimensions (eVars, props, and standard dimensions) per report suite, read via GET /dimensions; pulled as reporting metadata to build report requests and mirror the model. Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Dimensions is specific to Adobeanalytics and Sequences to Citus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Standard metrics available for a report suite, read via GET /metrics; read as metadata to construct report requests and document available measures. Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Metrics is specific to Adobeanalytics and Distributed tables to Citus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Calculated Metrics User-defined derived metrics, read via GET /calculatedmetrics; mirrored so downstream tools reference the same calculated-metric definitions. Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Calculated Metrics is specific to Adobeanalytics and Reference tables to Citus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Saved segment definitions used to filter reports, read via GET /segments; cataloged and reused so downstream systems target the same audiences. Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Segments is specific to Adobeanalytics and Local tables to Citus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Date Ranges Saved relative or rolling date ranges, read via GET /dateranges; read as reusable reporting components for report requests. Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Date Ranges is specific to Adobeanalytics and Schemas to Citus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobeanalytics and Citus

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Adobeanalytics Citus Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Adobeanalytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based over a date range: reports are requested for a from/to window and re-queried on a schedule.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Citus as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Citus Adobeanalytics Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Citus are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres.

DeliveryAdobeanalytics does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Adobeanalytics's output flows back as field updates on the originating Citus records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adobeanalytics: The Analytics 2.0 API enforces 12 requests per 6 seconds (about 120 per minute) per user; exceeding it returns HTTP 429 with error_code 429050. A separate per-report-suite reporting-engine throttle can slow large requests without returning an error.

How the Adobeanalytics and Citus connectors work

Adobeanalytics

Integration surface
Analytics 2.0 REST API on analytics.adobe.io for reporting and components; Data Feeds and Data Warehouse for raw hit-level export; Data Insertion and Bulk Data Insertion (CSV) APIs for inbound server-side collection.
Authentication
OAuth Server-to-Server via the Adobe Developer Console (JWT service-account auth was deprecated January 1, 2025). The company's global company ID is sent in the x-proxy-global-company-id header, and the integration needs at least the Report Suites, Metrics, and Dimensions permission groups.
Change detection
Pull-based over a date range: reports are requested for a from/to window and re-queried on a schedule. No change-data-capture feed or report-data webhooks; Adobe recommends not polling for new data faster than every 30 minutes and caching results.
