Why teams connect Apache Kylin and Pendo

Flow Apache Kylin data into Pendo in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

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

Pendo is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Apache Kylin is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Common use cases

  • 01 Set custom Visitor fields (role, lifecycle stage, entitlement) from the warehouse so in-app guides reach the right users without manual CSV uploads.
  • 02 Sync Pendo Visitors and Accounts into a data model to score product-qualified accounts alongside behavioral event data.
  • 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

Corrections propagate instead of reloading

When a record is fixed or backfilled on one side, the change reaches the other without a full reload, keeping history consistent across both.

One number both sides agree on

Metrics and aggregates stay aligned between the two systems, so a figure shown in Pendo matches the Apache Kylin table it was built from instead of drifting between refreshes.

Where Apache Kylin holds the source tables: live data in the reporting layer

Records maintained in Apache Kylin flow into Pendo as they change, so dashboards and reports read current rows rather than an overnight extract.

What you can sync between Apache Kylin and Pendo

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 Pendo objects How this pairing syncs
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. Projects is specific to Apache Kylin and Visitors to Pendo — 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. Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Models is specific to Apache Kylin and Accounts to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. Cubes / Indexes is specific to Apache Kylin and Feature Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. Source Tables is specific to Apache Kylin and Page Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. Segments is specific to Apache Kylin and Guide Events to Pendo — 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. Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Build Jobs is specific to Apache Kylin and Poll / NPS Responses to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Kylin and Pendo

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

Pendo Apache Kylin Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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 Pendo records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Kylin: No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage.
  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
