Why teams connect Airtable and Google AlloyDB

Keep Airtable and Google AlloyDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Airtable and Google AlloyDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
  • 02 Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
  • 03 Use logical replication to feed AlloyDB changes into warehouses or event pipelines without batch jobs.
  • 04 Consolidate SaaS data into AlloyDB and serve analytics from its columnar engine without a separate OLAP store.

Common sync patterns

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Airtable and Google AlloyDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between Airtable and Google AlloyDB

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.

Airtable objects Google AlloyDB objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. Tables Primary read/write target for bi-directional sync with CRMs and other systems. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Filtered subsets of a table that can scope which records a sync reads. Views Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Records is specific to Airtable and Indexes to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Fields is specific to Airtable and Sequences to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. Replication Slots Logical replication artifacts that back log-based change capture. Linked records is specific to Airtable and Replication Slots to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Attachments is specific to Airtable and Databases to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Google AlloyDB

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.

Airtable Google AlloyDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionAirtable pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks).

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

Google AlloyDB Airtable Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google AlloyDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Airtable through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Airtable: The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
  • Google AlloyDB: No API-style rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance size.

How the Airtable and Google AlloyDB connectors work

Airtable

Integration surface
REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
Authentication
OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
Change detection
Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.

Google AlloyDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible), with connectivity through the AlloyDB Auth Proxy or private IP
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM database authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication; polling on timestamp columns as a fallback
