Why teams connect Apache Druid and Quip

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

Whatever Quip 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 Folders, Messages, Users, Blobs from Quip 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 Quip where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Post a new_message into a linked Quip thread when a record changes in a CRM or ticketing system, notifying the account team where they plan.
  • 02 Mirror Documents and Spreadsheets into Postgres or a warehouse, keyed on thread ID and refreshed when updated_usec advances, for search and reporting on account plans and notes.
  • 03 Sync Druid query results into a warehouse to combine real-time aggregates with historical models.
  • 04 Keep lookup tables in Druid refreshed from a CRM or database so query-time joins use current reference data.

Common sync patterns

Cross-tool reporting

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

Where Quip accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Druid sync back onto records in Quip, 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 Quip or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Quip

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 Quip objects How this pairing syncs
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. Ingestion Supervisors is specific to Apache Druid and Folders to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Lookups is specific to Apache Druid and Messages to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. Tasks is specific to Apache Druid and Users to Quip — 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. Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. Datasources is specific to Apache Druid and Blobs to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. Segments is specific to Apache Druid and Documents to Quip — 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. Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. Dimensions is specific to Apache Druid and Spreadsheets to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Druid and Quip

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

Quip Apache Druid Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.

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.
  • Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.
