Why teams connect Auth0 and Couchbase

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: Couchbase 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. Couchbase 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 JSON Documents, Global Secondary Indexes, XDCR replications, Full-text search indexes in Couchbase with Users, Roles, Organizations, Organization Members 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 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • 02 Two-way sync between Couchbase (serving application data) and a CRM so support and sales teams see live application state.
  • 03 Stream Log Events for logins, signups, and failed authentications into a warehouse for security monitoring and authentication funnel reporting.
  • 04 Sync Organizations and their Connections into a customer database so B2B account records stay aligned with Auth0 tenants.

Common sync patterns

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Auth0 land in Couchbase 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 Couchbase

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 Couchbase objects How this pairing syncs
Connections Identity-provider configs (database, social, enterprise SAML/OIDC); typically read out to inventory how each tenant authenticates. Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Connections is specific to Auth0 and Collections to Couchbase — 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. JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Clients (Applications) is specific to Auth0 and JSON Documents to Couchbase — 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. Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Resource Servers (APIs) is specific to Auth0 and Global Secondary Indexes to Couchbase — 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. XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Log Events is specific to Auth0 and XDCR replications to Couchbase — 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. Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Users is specific to Auth0 and Full-text search indexes to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Roles RBAC role definitions and their permissions; synced with a database to audit which users hold which access, and assigned to Users from either side. Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Roles is specific to Auth0 and Buckets to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Auth0 and Couchbase

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

Couchbase Auth0 Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Couchbase are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations.

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.
  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.

How the Auth0 and Couchbase 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

Couchbase

Integration surface
SQL++ (N1QL) query service, key-value SDK APIs, and REST management APIs
Authentication
Database credentials with role-based access control, typically over TLS
Change detection
Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations; SQL++ polling on document fields as an alternative
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits
