Why teams connect Anaplan and Render Postgres

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from Render Postgres: 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 Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes, Cell Data from Anaplan into Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns and Types, Indexes and Constraints in Render Postgres and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Render Postgres, 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 Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • 02 Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • 03 Two-way sync CRM or ERP objects into Render Postgres tables so product and ops teams query business data with plain SQL.
  • 04 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

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

Write back safely

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

React to financial events

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

What you can sync between Anaplan and Render Postgres

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 Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Lists is specific to Anaplan and Schemas to Render Postgres — 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. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. List Items is specific to Anaplan and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — 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. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Versions is specific to Anaplan and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Processes is specific to Anaplan and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Cell Data is specific to Anaplan and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan and Render Postgres

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

Render Postgres Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
