Why teams connect Apache Druid and Workday

Land the financial records from Workday 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 Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers, Organizations from Workday 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 Workday 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

  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Expose product telemetry stored in Druid to business tools without granting direct cluster access.
  • Query aggregated event metrics from Druid and sync them into CRM account fields for usage-based selling.

Revenue joined with everything else

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

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Apache Druid, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Workday where the finance team can act on them.

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.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Workday

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 Workday objects
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools.
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials.

How the Apache Druid and Workday connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: basic authentication or an authenticator extension; often fronted by a proxy
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time interval); data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

Workday

Integration surface
SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP
Change detection
Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
Capabilities
read · write
