Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and Zuora

Work with Zuora'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 Rate Plan and Rate Plan Charge, Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog), Invoice, Payment from Zuora into Keyspaces, Tables, Partitions and Rows, Materialized Views 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 Zuora with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of Accounts and Subscriptions with an operational Postgres database so product and finance teams read billing state in SQL while changes flow back into Zuora.
  • 02 Master the Product Catalog (Products and Product Rate Plans) in a database or PIM and write pricing changes into Zuora.
  • 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

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Zuora 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 Zuora.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Apache Cassandra propagate into Zuora, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and Zuora

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 Zuora objects How this pairing syncs
Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog) The catalog of sellable products and their pricing; usually mastered elsewhere and written into Zuora, or read to map subscription charges. Collections is specific to Apache Cassandra and Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog) to Zuora — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Invoice Billing documents generated from rate plan charges and order line items; typically read out into an ERP or GL for revenue recognition and reconciliation. Counters is specific to Apache Cassandra and Invoice to Zuora — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. Payment Payment and refund transactions applied against invoices; read for cash application, dunning, and reconciliation reporting in the warehouse. Keyspaces is specific to Apache Cassandra and Payment to Zuora — 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. Usage Metered consumption records; written into Zuora from a metering or warehouse pipeline so consumption-based charges are rated and invoiced. Tables is specific to Apache Cassandra and Usage to Zuora — 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. Order and Amendment Records of subscription create and change actions; written to Zuora to drive quote-to-cash and read for subscription change history. Partitions and Rows is specific to Apache Cassandra and Order and Amendment to Zuora — 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. Account (Billing Account) The customer billing entity holding contacts, payment methods, and billing settings; synced two-way as the parent record most other Zuora objects hang off. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Cassandra and Account (Billing Account) to Zuora — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Cassandra and Zuora

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

Zuora Apache Cassandra Sub-second propagation

DetectionZuora notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental extraction on the indexed UpdatedDate column via ZOQL/AQuA stateful mode (high-water mark), plus Callout Notifications (webhooks) for.

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.
  • Zuora: Concurrency limits: 40 concurrent requests by default, 80 for Object Queries, 200 for high-volume operations (doubled for Performance Booster); HTTP 429 on breach with exponential backoff; OAuth token endpoint is not bound by the limit.
