Why teams connect Apache Kylin and Hibob

Land the people and organization records from Hibob in Apache Kylin as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Hibob can use them.

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

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Hibob is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Apache Kylin next to everything else the company measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Kylin aggregates into a cloud warehouse to combine them with data Kylin does not cover.
  • 02 Trigger downstream syncs after segment build jobs complete so consumers only read refreshed data.
  • 03 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.
  • 04 Auto-provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP, ticketing tool, or app database when Bob Lifecycle events fire employee joined or terminated.

Common sync patterns

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Apache Kylin gives you a durable, queryable record of how Hibob's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Apache Kylin sync back onto the matching records in Hibob, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Hibob arrive in Apache Kylin as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

What you can sync between Apache Kylin and Hibob

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 Hibob objects How this pairing syncs
Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Models is specific to Apache Kylin and Work to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Cubes / Indexes is specific to Apache Kylin and Salaries to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Time off Absence requests and who's-out data via /timeoff/employees/{id}/requests and /timeoff/whosout; submit new requests and read balances. Source Tables is specific to Apache Kylin and Time off to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Segments is specific to Apache Kylin and Lifecycle to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API. Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Build Jobs is specific to Apache Kylin and Documents to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Projects is specific to Apache Kylin and Named lists to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Kylin and Hibob

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

Hibob Apache Kylin Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

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 Hibob records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Kylin: No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage.
  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.

Apache Kylin

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC plus a REST API for queries and administration
Authentication
Username/password (HTTP basic authentication on the REST API)
Change detection
Not applicable for row-level capture; data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results
Capabilities

Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).

Rate limits
Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
