Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Azure Cosmos DB and Ukg Ready share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Ready is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Azure Cosmos DB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers in Azure Cosmos DB before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers in Azure Cosmos DB with Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

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 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Ready stay consistent in Azure Cosmos DB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Azure Cosmos DB write onto the matching record in Ukg Ready where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Ready land as queryable Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers in Azure Cosmos DB, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Ukg Ready

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 Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Databases is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Benefits to Ukg Ready — 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. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Containers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — 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. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Items (JSON documents) is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — 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. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Partition keys is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Employees to Ukg Ready — 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. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Change feed entries is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Cosmos DB and Ukg Ready

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 Ukg Ready 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 Ukg Ready through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Ready Azure Cosmos DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
