Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and Gainsight

Mirror Gainsight'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 Gainsight 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 Company, Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action) from Gainsight into User-Defined Types, Collections, Counters, Keyspaces 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 Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Consolidate data from multiple keyspaces or clusters into one reporting store.
  • 04 Replicate high-volume event or profile tables from Cassandra into a warehouse for analytics that CQL cannot express.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Gainsight 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.

Read Gainsight with a query

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

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and Gainsight

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 Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Counters is specific to Apache Cassandra and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Keyspaces is specific to Apache Cassandra and Custom Objects to Gainsight — 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. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Tables is specific to Apache Cassandra and Company to Gainsight — 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. Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Partitions and Rows is specific to Apache Cassandra and Person (People) to Gainsight — 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. Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Cassandra and Relationship to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary Indexes Optional indexes that allow filtered reads outside the partition key. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Secondary Indexes is specific to Apache Cassandra and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Cassandra and Gainsight

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

Gainsight Apache Cassandra Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
