Why teams connect Auth0 and CockroachDB

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: CockroachDB and Auth0 share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Auth0 is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. CockroachDB holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.

Stacksync syncs Changefeeds, Databases, Schemas, Tables in CockroachDB with Connections, Clients (Applications), Resource Servers (APIs), Log Events in Auth0 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from several SaaS tools into one distributed SQL store that survives zone failures.
  • 02 Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
  • 03 Sync Organizations and their Connections into a customer database so B2B account records stay aligned with Auth0 tenants.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Users, including user_metadata and app_metadata, with a Postgres database so internal tools read and update profiles in SQL while Auth0 stays the login source of truth.

Common sync patterns

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Auth0 land in CockroachDB as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.

Keep group and role membership aligned

A group or role change made in either system updates the other, so the entitlements an application enforces match what the directory grants.

One profile, kept current

A name, department, email, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so the profile the directory shows and the data the application reads stop drifting apart.

What you can sync between Auth0 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.

Auth0 objects CockroachDB objects How this pairing syncs
Organization Members Membership records linking Users to Organizations with roles; written to provision and deprovision access as accounts change. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Organization Members is specific to Auth0 and Tables to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connections Identity-provider configs (database, social, enterprise SAML/OIDC); typically read out to inventory how each tenant authenticates. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Connections is specific to Auth0 and Views to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clients (Applications) Registered applications and their metadata under /api/v2/clients; mirrored to a database for app and credential inventories. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Clients (Applications) is specific to Auth0 and Indexes to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Resource Servers (APIs) API definitions and their scopes; synced so permission catalogs used for access reviews stay current. Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Resource Servers (APIs) is specific to Auth0 and Sequences to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Log Events Tenant events (logins, signups, failed logins, admin changes) from /api/v2/logs; read-only, streamed into a warehouse for security analytics. Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Log Events is specific to Auth0 and Changefeeds to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Core identity records with profile fields plus user_metadata and app_metadata; synced two-way (create, update, delete) via /api/v2/users. Credentials are never returned. Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Users is specific to Auth0 and Databases to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Auth0 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.

Auth0 CockroachDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionAuth0 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge.

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

CockroachDB Auth0 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 Auth0 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Auth0: Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling.
  • CockroachDB: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity.

How the Auth0 and CockroachDB connectors work

Auth0

Integration surface
Management API v2 (REST); Authentication API issues the access token
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials from a machine-to-machine application; scoped Bearer JWT where each operation needs its own scope (e.g. read:users, create:users, update:users) or returns 403
Change detection
Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge; polling falls back to the Get Users search filtered on updated_at
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling

CockroachDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
Authentication
Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
Change detection
CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity
