Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and Bill

Work with Bill's financial data straight from Apache Cassandra: 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 Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Vendor Credits and Credit Memos from Bill into Collections, Counters, Keyspaces, Tables in Apache Cassandra and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Apache Cassandra, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Bill with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 02 Read Payments and payment status into a reconciliation database once bills are marked paid in BILL.
  • 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

React to financial events

Changes in Bill appear in Apache Cassandra 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 Bill live in Apache Cassandra 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 Apache Cassandra; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Bill.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and Bill

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 Bill objects How this pairing syncs
User-Defined Types Composite column types that syncs must flatten or map to structured fields. Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. User-Defined Types is specific to Apache Cassandra and Bank Accounts to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. Collections is specific to Apache Cassandra and Vendor Credits and Credit Memos to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Bills Accounts-payable amounts owed to vendors, with bill line items; read and created via /v3/bills and pulled incrementally by filtering on createdTime/updatedTime. Counters is specific to Apache Cassandra and Bills to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. Keyspaces is specific to Apache Cassandra and Vendors to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Wide-column tables addressed by partition key, the unit of row-level sync. Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Tables is specific to Apache Cassandra and Invoices to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitions and Rows Records located by partition and clustering keys during reads and upserts. Customers AR customer master records; mapped to customer/account records in a CRM or ERP so finance and sales share one view. Partitions and Rows is specific to Apache Cassandra and Customers to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Cassandra and Bill

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 Bill 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 Bill through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Bill Apache Cassandra Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

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.
  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
