Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Egnyte

Keep Azure Cosmos DB and Egnyte in step: a row in Azure Cosmos DB for every file in Egnyte, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in Azure Cosmos DB says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Egnyte holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Containers, Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries in Azure Cosmos DB with Groups, Permissions, Links, Metadata in Egnyte bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Cosmos DB items into Postgres so teams can query operational data with standard SQL.
  • 02 Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Egnyte and an operational database or another content store, keeping the folder hierarchy aligned.
  • 04 Write custom Metadata such as classification tags and project fields onto Files and Folders from a governance or DMS system, and read it back for reporting.

Common sync patterns

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in Azure Cosmos DB write back to the matching file's metadata in Egnyte, and metadata changed in Egnyte updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.

Records that point at documents

Where a record in Azure Cosmos DB references a file in Egnyte, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Egnyte become rows in Azure Cosmos DB as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Egnyte

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 Cosmos DB objects Egnyte objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Metadata Custom metadata keys and project fields on files/folders via the Metadata API; written for classification and read back for reporting. Databases is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Metadata to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Events and Audit reports File, login, permission, and sharing activity read via the Events API and Audit Reporting API; consumed read-only for compliance. Containers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Events and Audit reports to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Files File content managed via the fs-content endpoint (upload/download, chunked for large files); synced two-way with other stores. Items (JSON documents) is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Files to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Folders Folder hierarchy managed via the fs endpoint (create, move, rename, delete); the tree structure is mirrored during sync. Partition keys is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Folders to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Users Accounts managed via the Users API; provisioned, updated, and deactivated in sync with an HRIS or identity provider. Change feed entries is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Users to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Groups to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Cosmos DB and Egnyte

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 Cosmos DB Egnyte Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure Cosmos DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range.

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

Egnyte Azure Cosmos DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionEgnyte notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API polled with an incremental cursor (Egnyte recommends an interval of 5 minutes or more), or Webhooks push notifications for fs, metadata,.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Egnyte: Auto-generated keys default to 2 requests/second and 1,000 requests/day, enforced per access token; monitor X-Accesstoken-Qps-Current/Allotted and X-Accesstoken-Quota-Current headers; higher limits on request.
