Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and Eloqua

Give your team Eloqua's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in Apache Cassandra: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Eloqua, and skip the marketing API.

Eloqua holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in Apache Cassandra, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Contact Lists and Segments, Contacts, Accounts, Custom Data Objects from Eloqua into Keyspaces, Tables, Partitions and Rows, Materialized Views in Apache Cassandra field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in Apache Cassandra, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Eloqua to drive campaigns and ads, with Eloqua kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate high-volume event or profile tables from Cassandra into a warehouse for analytics that CQL cannot express.
  • 02 Sync customer profile data between Cassandra and a CRM so operational apps and sales tools agree.
  • 03 Load purchase or product-usage records into Custom Data Objects linked to Contacts so nurture campaigns branch on behavior mastered in another system.
  • 04 Add or remove Contacts from shared Contact Lists and Segments based on lifecycle stage computed downstream in a database.

Common sync patterns

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Eloqua land in Apache Cassandra beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Eloqua arrives as a row change in Apache Cassandra, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and Eloqua

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 Eloqua objects How this pairing syncs
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Contact Lists and Segments Shared lists (static) and segments (dynamic audiences); Contacts are added to or removed from shared lists based on lifecycle stage computed downstream. Counters is specific to Apache Cassandra and Contact Lists and Segments to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. Contacts Core person records, keyed on email address as the unique identifier; imported/exported via the Bulk API and upserted on email, synced two-way with CRM, warehouse, and app databases. Keyspaces is specific to Apache Cassandra and Contacts to Eloqua — 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. Accounts Company records linked to Contacts via the account-linkage field; moved through the Bulk API and typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Eloqua. Tables is specific to Apache Cassandra and Accounts to Eloqua — 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. Custom Data Objects Auxiliary data tables (CDOs) linked to Contacts for records like event registrations or purchases; synced via the Bulk API so nurture campaigns can branch on them. Partitions and Rows is specific to Apache Cassandra and Custom Data Objects to Eloqua — 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. Activities Engagement events (email opens, clicks, form submits, bounces, page views, subscribes/unsubscribes) exported through the Bulk API activities export; read-only feed for scoring and attribution. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Cassandra and Activities to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary Indexes Optional indexes that allow filtered reads outside the partition key. Campaigns Multi-step campaign-canvas assets managed through the Application REST API; campaign membership and response data read out for attribution reporting. Secondary Indexes is specific to Apache Cassandra and Campaigns to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Cassandra and Eloqua

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

Eloqua Apache Cassandra Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Eloqua for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via Bulk API exports filtered on a contact/account modified-date field using EML filter syntax.

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.
  • Eloqua: Per-instance soft limits by sync type (Export 2,000/hr, Import 2,000/hr, Sync Action 4,000/hr); 32 MB cap per POST to a staging area and 50,000 records per retrieve batch.
