Why teams connect Anaplan and TiDB

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from TiDB: 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 Lists, List Items, Versions, Import and Export Actions from Anaplan into Databases, Tables, Views, Columns in TiDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against TiDB, 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 Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • 02 Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • 03 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 04 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics

Common sync patterns

React to financial events

Changes in Anaplan appear in TiDB 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 TiDB 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 TiDB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

What you can sync between Anaplan and TiDB

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 TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Modules is specific to Anaplan and Databases to TiDB — 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. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Line Items is specific to Anaplan and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Lists is specific to Anaplan and Views to TiDB — 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 MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. List Items is specific to Anaplan and Columns to TiDB — 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 Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Versions is specific to Anaplan and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan and TiDB

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

TiDB Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
