Why teams connect Apache Druid and Braze

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

Whatever Braze 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 Canvases, Subscription Groups, Content Blocks, Users from Braze 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 Braze where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync CRM and billing attributes onto Braze user profiles so lifecycle campaigns target accurate plan and status data.
  • 02 Push product usage events from a database or warehouse into Braze to trigger onboarding and retention journeys.
  • 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

Analytics on Braze's data

Records and events from Braze land in Apache Druid as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

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

Where Braze accepts updates: operational write-back

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

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Braze

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 Braze objects How this pairing syncs
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Subscription Groups Channel-level opt-in states synced with consent records in other systems. Lookups is specific to Apache Druid and Subscription Groups to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns. Tasks is specific to Apache Druid and Content Blocks to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target. Datasources is specific to Apache Druid and Users to Braze — 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. Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Dimensions is specific to Apache Druid and Custom Attributes to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Metrics is specific to Apache Druid and Custom Events to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Druid and Braze

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

Braze Apache Druid Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Braze for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Braze Currents streams engagement events outward.

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.
  • Braze: Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request.
