Why teams connect Anaplan and Google Cloud Spanner

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from Google Cloud Spanner: 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 Line Items, Lists, List Items, Versions from Anaplan into Views, Databases, Tables, Rows in Google Cloud Spanner and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Google Cloud Spanner, 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 Sync CRM pipeline data into Anaplan for sales capacity and quota planning.
  • 02 Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • 03 Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.
  • 04 Run a two-way sync between Spanner and a SaaS tool so edits made by ops teams land back in the application database.

Common sync patterns

React to financial events

Changes in Anaplan appear in Google Cloud Spanner 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 Google Cloud Spanner as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Google Cloud Spanner; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Google Cloud Spanner

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 Google Cloud Spanner objects How this pairing syncs
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. List Items is specific to Anaplan and Databases to Google Cloud Spanner — 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. Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. Versions is specific to Anaplan and Tables to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Rows to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. Processes is specific to Anaplan and Interleaved tables to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns. Cell Data is specific to Anaplan and Secondary indexes to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. Models is specific to Anaplan and Change streams to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan and Google Cloud Spanner

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 Google Cloud Spanner 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 applied to Google Cloud Spanner as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Google Cloud Spanner Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud Spanner are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries.

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.
  • Google Cloud Spanner: Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
