Why teams connect Apache Doris and Postgres Heroku

Connect Postgres Heroku and Apache Doris with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Postgres Heroku's rows in Apache Doris, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Postgres Heroku where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Postgres Heroku sync into Apache Doris in real time, and result tables in Apache Doris sync back into Postgres Heroku, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

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 Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
  • 04 Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record

Common sync patterns

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Apache Doris and keep Postgres Heroku focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Postgres Heroku land in Apache Doris as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Apache Doris sync into Postgres Heroku, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between Apache Doris and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Columnar tables in one of Doris's table models, used as sync destinations. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Materialized Views Precomputed views readable for downstream syncs and BI. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Databases Logical containers that scope connections and grants. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Databases is specific to Apache Doris and Schemas to Postgres Heroku — 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. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. Unique Key Tables is specific to Apache Doris and Primary and Unique Keys to Postgres Heroku — 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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Aggregate Key Tables is specific to Apache Doris and JSONB Columns to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitions Range or list partitions that bound incremental loads. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Partitions is specific to Apache Doris and Sequences to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Doris and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku 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 applied to Postgres Heroku 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.
  • Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.

How the Apache Doris and Postgres Heroku 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

Postgres Heroku

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required
Change detection
Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings
