Why teams connect Adobeanalytics and DuckDB

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

Adobeanalytics is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into DuckDB, so DuckDB 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 DuckDB 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 Mirror Dimensions, Metrics, Calculated Metrics, and Segment definitions into a catalog database to document the Adobe Analytics reporting model.
  • 02 Load report data on a schedule into a reporting database for executive dashboards without manual Analysis Workspace exports or Report Builder pulls.
  • 03 Use DuckDB as a transform step: read synced Parquet exports, aggregate with SQL, and write results back to an operational database.
  • 04 Sync SaaS data to Parquet on object storage and query it with DuckDB without standing up a warehouse.

Common sync patterns

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

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Adobeanalytics sync back into DuckDB, 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 DuckDB land in Adobeanalytics as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

One version of each user or account

A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.

What you can sync between Adobeanalytics and DuckDB

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 DuckDB objects How this pairing syncs
Calculated Metrics User-defined derived metrics, read via GET /calculatedmetrics; mirrored so downstream tools reference the same calculated-metric definitions. Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. Calculated Metrics is specific to Adobeanalytics and Database files to DuckDB — 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. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Segments is specific to Adobeanalytics and Schemas to DuckDB — 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. Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Date Ranges is specific to Adobeanalytics and Tables to DuckDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Report Suites Report suite and virtual report suite configuration read via the /collections/suites endpoint; enumerated to list the report suites available to the company. Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Report Suites is specific to Adobeanalytics and Views to DuckDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Users in the Analytics company, read via GET /users and /users/me; loaded for access, entitlement, and identity reconciliation reporting. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. Users is specific to Adobeanalytics and External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) to DuckDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage and Access Logs Admin audit and usage logs of report and tool activity, read via the usage/audit-log endpoints; loaded for security, governance, and adoption reporting. Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Usage and Access Logs is specific to Adobeanalytics and Attached databases to DuckDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobeanalytics and DuckDB

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 DuckDB 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 DuckDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

DuckDB Adobeanalytics Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls DuckDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling or full re-reads.

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 DuckDB 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.
  • DuckDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O.

How the Adobeanalytics and DuckDB 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.
