Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Redis Enterprise

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: Redis Enterprise and Azure Active Directory share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Azure Active Directory 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. Redis Enterprise 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 Streams, Pub/Sub channels, Search indexes, Keys (Strings) in Redis Enterprise with Applications, Service principals, Directory roles, Devices in Azure Active Directory 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 Publish record-change events into Redis Streams so microservices react to upstream CRM updates without polling.
  • 02 Hydrate session stores and feature stores from a warehouse or operational database on a schedule.
  • 03 Sync manager, department, and jobTitle from an HRIS back onto Entra ID User attributes to keep dynamic groups and Conditional Access accurate.
  • 04 Replicate Groups and their Members into a Postgres warehouse for access reviews and entitlement reporting.

Common sync patterns

Deprovision the moment the record changes

When someone is marked inactive or removed in Redis Enterprise, the matching account in Azure Active Directory is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Azure Active Directory land in Redis Enterprise 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.

What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Redis Enterprise

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.

Azure Active Directory objects Redis Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Service principals /servicePrincipals (enterprise apps) plus appRoleAssignments; read for app inventory and access-posture reporting. Hashes Field-value maps that commonly hold one synced row per hash, keyed by record ID. Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Hashes to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. JSON documents Native JSON storage (RedisJSON) for nested records synced from APIs or document stores. Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and JSON documents to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. Sets Unordered unique-member collections used for membership checks like segment or ID lists. Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Sets to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. Sorted Sets Score-ordered collections used for rankings, priority queues, and time-ordered indexes. Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Sorted Sets to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. Lists Ordered sequences often used as lightweight queues fed by sync events. Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Lists to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. Streams Append-only logs with consumer groups, used to fan sync events out to downstream services. Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Streams to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Redis Enterprise

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.

Azure Active Directory Redis Enterprise Sub-second propagation

DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.

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

Redis Enterprise Azure Active Directory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Redis Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.
  • Redis Enterprise: Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits.
