Why teams connect Apache Druid and SendGrid

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

Whatever SendGrid 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 Contacts, List, Segments, Categories from SendGrid 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 SendGrid where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync CRM contacts and their custom fields into SendGrid lists so campaign targeting reflects live sales data
  • 02 Write bounces, spam reports, and unsubscribes back to the CRM to keep email opt-in status accurate everywhere
  • 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 SendGrid's data

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

Cross-tool reporting

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

Where SendGrid accepts updates: operational write-back

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

What you can sync between Apache Druid and SendGrid

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 SendGrid objects How this pairing syncs
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields. 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. Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values. Datasources is specific to Apache Druid and Contacts to SendGrid — 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. List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Dimensions is specific to Apache Druid and List to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Metrics is specific to Apache Druid and Categories to SendGrid — 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. Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Ingestion Supervisors is specific to Apache Druid and Senders to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting. Lookups is specific to Apache Druid and Single Sends to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Druid and SendGrid

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

SendGrid Apache Druid Sub-second propagation

DetectionSendGrid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint.

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.
  • SendGrid: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes.
