Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and Asana

Mirror Asana's data into Apache Cassandra so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Asana through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Apache Cassandra.

Stacksync mirrors Portfolios, Tags, Teams / Workspaces, Tasks from Asana into Partitions and Rows, Materialized Views, Secondary Indexes, User-Defined Types in Apache Cassandra and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Asana, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom fields between an Asana project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Asana.
  • 02 Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Asana Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.
  • 03 Replicate high-volume event or profile tables from Cassandra into a warehouse for analytics that CQL cannot express.
  • 04 Sync customer profile data between Cassandra and a CRM so operational apps and sales tools agree.

Common sync patterns

Automate Asana from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Apache Cassandra and Stacksync propagates the change into Asana, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Asana arrive as row changes in Apache Cassandra, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and Asana

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.

Apache Cassandra objects Asana objects How this pairing syncs
Partitions and Rows Records located by partition and clustering keys during reads and upserts. Custom fields Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID. Partitions and Rows is specific to Apache Cassandra and Custom fields to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Server-maintained denormalized views; considered experimental and disabled by default in recent releases. Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Cassandra and Stories to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary Indexes Optional indexes that allow filtered reads outside the partition key. Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. Secondary Indexes is specific to Apache Cassandra and Users to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
User-Defined Types Composite column types that syncs must flatten or map to structured fields. Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). User-Defined Types is specific to Apache Cassandra and Portfolios to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. Collections is specific to Apache Cassandra and Tags to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Counters is specific to Apache Cassandra and Teams / Workspaces to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Cassandra and Asana

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.

Apache Cassandra Asana 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 Asana through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Asana Apache Cassandra Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Cassandra: No API quotas; throughput is governed by cluster capacity and consistency-level choices.
  • Asana: Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.
