Why teams connect Apache Druid and Bill

Land the financial records from Bill in Apache Druid continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Vendor Credits and Credit Memos from Bill into tables in Apache Druid in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Apache Druid can be written back to fields in Bill where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 02 Read Payments and payment status into a reconciliation database once bills are marked paid in BILL.
  • 03 Query aggregated event metrics from Druid and sync them into CRM account fields for usage-based selling.
  • 04 Feed operational records into Druid via batch ingestion so analysts get interactive slice-and-dice on fresh data.

Common sync patterns

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Apache Druid gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Bill arrive in Apache Druid as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Bill's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in Apache Druid for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Bill

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 Bill objects How this pairing syncs
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. Segments is specific to Apache Druid and Payments to Bill — 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. Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. Dimensions is specific to Apache Druid and Chart of Accounts to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Metrics is specific to Apache Druid and Bank Accounts to Bill — 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. Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. Ingestion Supervisors is specific to Apache Druid and Vendor Credits and Credit Memos to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Bills Accounts-payable amounts owed to vendors, with bill line items; read and created via /v3/bills and pulled incrementally by filtering on createdTime/updatedTime. Lookups is specific to Apache Druid and Bills to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. Tasks is specific to Apache Druid and Vendors to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Druid and Bill

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

Bill Apache Druid Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

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.
  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
