Why teams connect Apache Doris and Azure Active Directory

Land the users, groups, and access events from Azure Active Directory in Apache Doris continuously for security analytics, and write computed results back — without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Azure Active Directory is the record of who exists and what they can reach; Apache Doris is where the business measures everything else. The two overlap on people and their access — the same users, groups, roles, and events that Azure Active Directory governs are what security, compliance, and analytics teams want to query in Apache Doris. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Service principals, Directory roles, Devices, Users from Azure Active Directory into tables in Apache Doris in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Apache Doris, such as risk scores or access-review decisions, can be written back to attributes in Azure Active Directory where the identity team acts on them. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than a pipeline you keep alive.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read aggregates from Doris and sync them into business tools like CRMs or spreadsheets.
  • 02 Consolidate event and transactional data from multiple sources into one real-time OLAP layer.
  • 03 Sync manager, department, and jobTitle from an HRIS back onto Entra ID User attributes to keep dynamic groups and Conditional Access accurate.
  • 04 Replicate Groups and their Members into a Postgres warehouse for access reviews and entitlement reporting.

Common sync patterns

Directory data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Users, groups, and roles from Azure Active Directory arrive in Apache Doris as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a nightly directory export.

Access and sign-in analytics

Sign-in and access events from Azure Active Directory land in Apache Doris, so security and compliance teams can query who reached what, and when, alongside the rest of the business's data.

Access governance on joined data

Join Azure Active Directory's users and group memberships with HR, product, and usage data already in Apache Doris to surface who holds access they no longer need.

What you can sync between Apache Doris and Azure Active Directory

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 Doris objects Azure Active Directory objects How this pairing syncs
Partitions Range or list partitions that bound incremental loads. Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. Partitions is specific to Apache Doris and Group memberships to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed views readable for downstream syncs and BI. Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Doris and Applications to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Roles Principals used to grant the sync connection scoped access. Service principals /servicePrincipals (enterprise apps) plus appRoleAssignments; read for app inventory and access-posture reporting. Users and Roles is specific to Apache Doris and Service principals to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers that scope connections and grants. Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. Databases is specific to Apache Doris and Directory roles to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Columnar tables in one of Doris's table models, used as sync destinations. Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. Tables is specific to Apache Doris and Devices to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Unique Key Tables Tables supporting primary-key upserts, the natural target for row-level syncs. Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. Unique Key Tables is specific to Apache Doris and Users to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Doris and Azure Active Directory

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 Doris Azure Active Directory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Doris for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Azure Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Azure Active Directory Apache Doris Sub-second propagation

DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Apache Doris as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Doris: No API quotas; load throughput depends on cluster resources and load-job configuration.
  • Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.
