Why teams connect Asana and SAP Hana

Mirror Asana's data into SAP Hana so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Asana through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in SAP Hana.

Stacksync mirrors Tags, Teams / Workspaces, Tasks, Projects from Asana into Column store tables, Row store tables, Calculation views, SQL views in SAP Hana and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Asana, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
  • 02 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
  • 03 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Asana with a query

Records from Asana are ordinary rows in SAP Hana; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Asana from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in SAP Hana and Stacksync propagates the change into Asana, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Asana and SAP Hana

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.

Asana objects SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. Portfolios is specific to Asana and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Tags is specific to Asana and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Column store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via REST and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks with a parent reference. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Tasks is specific to Asana and Row store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Projects is specific to Asana and Calculation views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Sections is specific to Asana and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and SAP Hana

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.

Asana SAP Hana 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.

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

SAP Hana Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

SAP Hana

Integration surface
SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
