Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and IBM Db2

Keep Apache Cassandra and IBM Db2 synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Apache Cassandra and IBM Db2 continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from multiple keyspaces or clusters into one reporting store.
  • 02 Replicate high-volume event or profile tables from Cassandra into a warehouse for analytics that CQL cannot express.
  • 03 Feed changes captured from Db2 logs into downstream event pipelines.
  • 04 Expose Db2 records that back core business systems to a CRM so sales and support see order or account state.

Common sync patterns

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Apache Cassandra and IBM Db2, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and IBM Db2

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 IBM Db2 objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Wide-column tables addressed by partition key, the unit of row-level sync. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Keyspaces is specific to Apache Cassandra and Indexes to IBM Db2 — 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. Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Partitions and Rows is specific to Apache Cassandra and Stored Procedures to IBM Db2 — 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. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Cassandra and Sequences to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary Indexes Optional indexes that allow filtered reads outside the partition key. Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. Secondary Indexes is specific to Apache Cassandra and Tablespaces to IBM Db2 — 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. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. User-Defined Types is specific to Apache Cassandra and Databases to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Cassandra and IBM Db2

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 IBM Db2 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 applied to IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM Db2 Apache Cassandra Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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.
  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
