Why teams connect Attio and CockroachDB

Treat Attio like part of your database: its records live in CockroachDB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in CockroachDB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Workspaces, Custom objects, People, Companies from Attio into Views, Indexes, Sequences, Changefeeds in CockroachDB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Attio with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Attio aligned with a billing system or ERP on customer records and plan status.
  • 02 Mirror lists and list entries into a database for pipeline reporting beyond the in-app views.
  • 03 Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.
  • 04 Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Attio API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Attio arrive as row changes in CockroachDB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Attio become tables in CockroachDB you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between Attio and CockroachDB

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.

Attio objects CockroachDB objects How this pairing syncs
Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Custom objects is specific to Attio and Changefeeds to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. People is specific to Attio and Databases to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Companies is specific to Attio and Schemas to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Users is specific to Attio and Tables to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Deals is specific to Attio and Views to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Workspaces is specific to Attio and Indexes to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Attio and CockroachDB

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.

Attio CockroachDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionAttio notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on record and list-entry events, with polling as a fallback.

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

CockroachDB Attio Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in CockroachDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Attio: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • CockroachDB: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity.
