Why teams connect Apache Druid and Mixpanel

Flow Mixpanel data into Apache Druid in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Mixpanel is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Apache Druid, so Apache Druid always reflects the current state of Mixpanel — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Mixpanel is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Apache Druid is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Cohort membership into an operational database to drive lifecycle email and in-app targeting from a single source.
  • 02 Read Funnel and Retention reports from the Query API into a reporting database for executive dashboards without manual CSV pulls.
  • 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

Where Apache Druid holds the source tables: live data in the reporting layer

Records maintained in Apache Druid flow into Mixpanel as they change, so dashboards and reports read current rows rather than an overnight extract.

Where Mixpanel produces segments or scores: results back to the warehouse

Cohorts, segments, and computed metrics defined in Mixpanel write to Apache Druid as tables the rest of the stack can query and join.

Shared user and account keys

Users and accounts tracked in Mixpanel line up with the customer or user rows in Apache Druid on a stable key, so both sides count the same population.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Mixpanel

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 Mixpanel objects How this pairing syncs
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Lookup Tables Dimension tables joined to events; capped at 100MB with 100 writes per 24h, so treated as reference data. Dimensions is specific to Apache Druid and Lookup Tables to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Lexicon Schemas Event and property definitions (metadata); read to reconcile the tracking plan against a warehouse schema. Metrics is specific to Apache Druid and Lexicon Schemas to Mixpanel — 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. Events Time-stamped user actions (live via /track, historical via /import); the primary dataset read out through the Raw Data Export API by date range. Ingestion Supervisors is specific to Apache Druid and Events to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. User Profiles People records (Engage) with properties like email, plan, and last-seen; read through the Engage/Query API and joined to event data. Lookups is specific to Apache Druid and User Profiles to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Group Profiles Account or workspace-level records from Group Analytics; read to roll event data up to a company or org dimension. Tasks is specific to Apache Druid and Group Profiles to Mixpanel — 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. Cohorts Saved user segments; membership pulled through the Engage/cohorts Query API to drive downstream lifecycle lists. Datasources is specific to Apache Druid and Cohorts to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Druid and Mixpanel

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 Mixpanel 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.

DeliveryMixpanel does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Mixpanel's output flows back as field updates on the originating Apache Druid records.

Mixpanel Apache Druid Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Mixpanel for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: the Raw Data Export API is polled over an event-time date window (from_date/to_date).

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.
  • Mixpanel: Raw Data Export API allows 60 queries/hour, 3/second, and up to 100 concurrent; the Query API allows 60/hour with 5 concurrent; exceeding limits returns a 429.

How the Apache Druid and Mixpanel connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica

No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

Mixpanel

Integration surface
Ingestion API, Query API, and Raw Data Export API (REST)
Authentication
Service Account with HTTP Basic Auth (username + secret) scoped by project_id; the legacy Project Secret method is deprecated with end-of-life March 3, 2027
