Why teams connect Apache Pinot and Gainsight

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

Whatever Gainsight 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 CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact, Timeline Activity, Success Plan from Gainsight into tables in Apache Pinot continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Pinot can also be written back into fields in Gainsight where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 03 Sync Pinot aggregates into a warehouse to join low-latency metrics with modeled historical data.
  • 04 Serve user-facing analytics from Pinot while syncing daily rollups to finance and ops tools.

Common sync patterns

Where Gainsight accepts updates: operational write-back

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

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Pinot preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Gainsight or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Gainsight's data

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

What you can sync between Apache Pinot and Gainsight

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 Pinot objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The queryable unit, defined as offline, real-time, or hybrid; the main read target. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Column definitions (dimensions, metrics, time columns) mapped during integration setup. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Schemas is specific to Apache Pinot and Custom Objects to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Immutable data files that batch ingestion uploads and the cluster serves. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Segments is specific to Apache Pinot and Company to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Real-time Tables Tables fed continuously from streams like Kafka, including upsert-enabled tables. Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Real-time Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Person (People) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offline Tables Batch-loaded tables merged with real-time data at query time. Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Offline Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Relationship to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Inverted, range, and star-tree indexes that determine which sync queries run at low latency. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Indexes is specific to Apache Pinot and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Pinot and Gainsight

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 Pinot Gainsight Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Pinot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data enters Pinot via streaming ingestion or segment upload, not row-level writes.

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

Gainsight Apache Pinot Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Apache Pinot as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Pinot: No fixed API quotas; query throughput depends on broker and server sizing.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
