Why teams connect Apache Doris and Ceridian Dayforce

Land the people and organization records from Ceridian Dayforce in Apache Doris as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Ceridian Dayforce can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Ceridian Dayforce is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Apache Doris next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules, Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions from Ceridian Dayforce into tables in Apache Doris continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Apache Doris, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Ceridian Dayforce where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Continuously upsert changing records into Unique Key tables so analytics reflect current state rather than append-only history.
  • 02 Read aggregates from Doris and sync them into business tools like CRMs or spreadsheets.
  • 03 Push new hires (Employee, Employment Status, Work Assignment) from an ATS or onboarding tool into Dayforce with POST once a candidate is hired, pre-fetching valid XRefCodes for department, position, location, and pay group.
  • 04 React to Dayforce Event Notifications for hire, rehire, and terminate to provision or disable IdP and app access and update downstream records as the changes post.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Ceridian Dayforce's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Apache Doris for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Apache Doris gives you a durable, queryable record of how Ceridian Dayforce's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

What you can sync between Apache Doris and Ceridian Dayforce

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 Ceridian Dayforce objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed views readable for downstream syncs and BI. Work Assignments Effective-dated position, department, location, and org-unit assignment; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Read and updatable via PATCH. Materialized Views is specific to Apache Doris and Work Assignments to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Roles Principals used to grant the sync connection scoped access. Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments Compensation Summary returns pay rate and frequency for reporting; Employee Pay Adjustments are written as effective-dated records via PATCH to post pay changes back to Dayforce. Users and Roles is specific to Apache Doris and Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers that scope connections and grants. Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries Time-and-attendance punches; raw clock entries are added with POST and punches removed with DELETE, so time data flows both ways between Dayforce and scheduling or workforce tools. Databases is specific to Apache Doris and Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries to Ceridian Dayforce — 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. Employee Schedules Shift and schedule assignments; created and updated through POST and PATCH schedule endpoints and paged with pageSize, used to push schedules from a WFM tool or pull them for analytics. Tables is specific to Apache Doris and Employee Schedules to Ceridian Dayforce — 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. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions Configuration reference data; POST creates org units and departments and PATCH updates job, position, department, and org-unit data. Used to resolve and validate XRefCodes when mapping employee writes. Unique Key Tables is specific to Apache Doris and Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aggregate Key Tables Tables that pre-aggregate on load, used for metric rollups. Time Away From Work & Balances Time-off requests and accrual balances read per employee; pulled into scheduling, payroll, or absence-reporting databases and used to reconcile leave against downstream systems. Aggregate Key Tables is specific to Apache Doris and Time Away From Work & Balances to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Doris and Ceridian Dayforce

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

Ceridian Dayforce Apache Doris Sub-second propagation

DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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.
  • Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.

How the Apache Doris and Ceridian Dayforce connectors work

Apache Doris

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL access; HTTP APIs (such as Stream Load) for bulk ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads; ingestion into Doris is push-based via load jobs
Capabilities

Ceridian Dayforce

Integration surface
REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
Change detection
No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.

Rate limits
Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.
