Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and BetterContact

Mirror BetterContact'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.

BetterContact is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Apache Cassandra, so Apache Cassandra always reflects the current state of BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Engineers integrate with tools like BetterContact 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 Enrichment Request, Enriched Contact, Company, Lead Finder Search from BetterContact into Collections, Counters, Keyspaces, Tables 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 BetterContact, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Enrich new CRM leads with verified emails and mobile numbers as they are created, writing results back to the CRM record.
  • 02 Backfill a warehouse of contacts with waterfall enrichment across 20+ data providers.
  • 03 Feed Cassandra change streams into search indexes or caches that must track the source of truth.
  • 04 Consolidate data from multiple keyspaces or clusters into one reporting store.

Common sync patterns

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.

Read BetterContact with a query

Records from BetterContact are ordinary rows in Apache Cassandra; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate BetterContact from your codebase

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

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and BetterContact

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 BetterContact objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Server-maintained denormalized views; considered experimental and disabled by default in recent releases. Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Cassandra and Enriched Contact to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary Indexes Optional indexes that allow filtered reads outside the partition key. Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Secondary Indexes is specific to Apache Cassandra and Company to BetterContact — 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. Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. User-Defined Types is specific to Apache Cassandra and Lead Finder Search to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Collections is specific to Apache Cassandra and Enrichment Request to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Cassandra and BetterContact

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 BetterContact 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.

DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating Apache Cassandra records.

BetterContact Apache Cassandra Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

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.
  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
