Why teams connect Apache Druid and Asana

Get the data locked inside Asana into Apache Druid as live tables, and send results back where Asana can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Asana is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Sections, Custom fields, Stories, Users from Asana into tables in Apache Druid continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Druid can also be written back into fields in Asana where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
  • 02 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
  • 03 Expose product telemetry stored in Druid to business tools without granting direct cluster access.
  • 04 Query aggregated event metrics from Druid and sync them into CRM account fields for usage-based selling.

Common sync patterns

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Asana's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Asana accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Druid sync back onto records in Asana, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Druid preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Asana or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Asana

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 Druid objects Asana objects How this pairing syncs
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Tasks The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via REST and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks with a parent reference. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Datasources is specific to Apache Druid and Teams / Workspaces to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Projects Collections of Tasks with a layout (list, board, timeline, calendar); each project maps to a synced table scope and its custom fields define the mapping. Segments is specific to Apache Druid and Projects to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Dimensions is specific to Apache Druid and Sections to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Custom fields Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID. Metrics is specific to Apache Druid and Custom fields to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Ingestion Supervisors is specific to Apache Druid and Stories to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Druid and Asana

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 Druid Asana Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Druid for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates.

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

Asana Apache Druid Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Druid: No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity.
  • Asana: Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.

How the Apache Druid and Asana connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: basic authentication or an authenticator extension; often fronted by a proxy
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time interval); data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

Asana

Integration surface
REST API (app.asana.com/api/1.0, JSON responses), plus resource-scoped Webhooks and a sync-token Events API
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps, Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for single-account use and testing, and organization-scoped Service Accounts (Enterprise) for admin-level access
Change detection
Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete; the sync-token Events API returns incremental changes on a task or project when webhooks are not used
