Why teams connect Anaplan and Apache Cassandra

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from Apache Cassandra: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Cell Data, Models, Modules, Line Items from Anaplan into User-Defined Types, Collections, Counters, Keyspaces in Apache Cassandra and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Apache Cassandra, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Anaplan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • 02 Load actuals from an ERP or warehouse into Anaplan modules so forecasts start from current financials.
  • 03 Write attributes computed elsewhere (scores, preferences) back into Cassandra tables serving low-latency reads.
  • 04 Feed Cassandra change streams into search indexes or caches that must track the source of truth.

Common sync patterns

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Apache Cassandra propagate into Anaplan, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Anaplan appear in Apache Cassandra as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Anaplan live in Apache Cassandra as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Apache Cassandra

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.

Anaplan objects Apache Cassandra objects How this pairing syncs
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Materialized Views Server-maintained denormalized views; considered experimental and disabled by default in recent releases. Modules is specific to Anaplan and Materialized Views to Apache Cassandra — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Secondary Indexes Optional indexes that allow filtered reads outside the partition key. Line Items is specific to Anaplan and Secondary Indexes to Apache Cassandra — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. User-Defined Types Composite column types that syncs must flatten or map to structured fields. Lists is specific to Anaplan and User-Defined Types to Apache Cassandra — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. List Items is specific to Anaplan and Collections to Apache Cassandra — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Versions is specific to Anaplan and Counters to Apache Cassandra — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Keyspaces to Apache Cassandra — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan and Apache Cassandra

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.

Anaplan Apache Cassandra Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Anaplan for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling and scheduled export actions.

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

Apache Cassandra Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Apache Cassandra are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Commit-log based CDC on tables with CDC enabled, or polling using writetime metadata and timestamp columns.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Anaplan: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions.
  • Apache Cassandra: No API quotas; throughput is governed by cluster capacity and consistency-level choices.
