Why teams connect Attio and Render Postgres

Treat Attio like part of your database: its records live in Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Custom objects, People, Companies, Users from Attio into Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns and Types, Indexes and Constraints in Render Postgres 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 Run a two-way dual-run when migrating to Attio from another CRM.
  • 02 Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.
  • 03 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.
  • 04 Serve as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.

Common sync patterns

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Render Postgres sync onto the matching records in Attio, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

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 Render Postgres, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Attio and Render Postgres

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 Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. People is specific to Attio and Schemas to Render Postgres — 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. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Companies is specific to Attio and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Users is specific to Attio and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — 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. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Deals is specific to Attio and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Workspaces is specific to Attio and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Custom objects is specific to Attio and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Attio and Render Postgres

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 Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Render Postgres Attio Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
