Why teams connect Apache Kylin and Asana

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

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

Whatever Asana 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom fields between an Asana project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Asana.
  • 02 Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Asana Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.
  • 03 Trigger downstream syncs after segment build jobs complete so consumers only read refreshed data.
  • 04 Read pre-aggregated metrics from Kylin and sync them into CRM fields or planning spreadsheets on a schedule.

Common sync patterns

Analytics on Asana's data

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

Cross-tool reporting

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

Where Asana accepts updates: operational write-back

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

What you can sync between Apache Kylin and Asana

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 Kylin objects Asana objects How this pairing syncs
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Projects Collections of Tasks with a layout (list, board, timeline, calendar); each project maps to a synced table scope and its custom fields define the mapping. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in the writable direction. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API. Custom fields Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID. Build Jobs is specific to Apache Kylin and Custom fields to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Models is specific to Apache Kylin and Stories to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. Cubes / Indexes is specific to Apache Kylin and Users to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). Source Tables is specific to Apache Kylin and Portfolios to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. Segments is specific to Apache Kylin and Tags to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Kylin and Asana

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 Kylin Asana Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Kylin for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Asana through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Asana Apache Kylin Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Kylin: No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage.
  • Asana: Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.
