Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Workday
Work with Workday's financial data straight from Azure Cosmos DB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.
Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.
Stacksync mirrors Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices from Workday into Containers, Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries in Azure Cosmos DB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Azure Cosmos DB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.
Common use cases
- Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
- Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
- Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
- Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.
Write back safely
Updates written to the synced tables in Azure Cosmos DB propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.
React to financial events
Changes in Workday appear in Azure Cosmos DB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.
Query finance data like any other data
Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in Azure Cosmos DB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.
What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Workday
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 | Workday objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. | Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. | |
| Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. | Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. | |
| Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. | Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. | |
| Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. | Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. | |
| Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. | Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. | |
| Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. | Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. |

FAQ
Azure Cosmos DB and Workday integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Cosmos DB and Workday: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Cosmos DB's Partition keys and Change feed entries), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Azure Cosmos DB and Workday connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Azure Cosmos DB–Workday integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Azure Cosmos DB and Workday. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Azure Cosmos DB: Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range. On Workday: Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Workday side: Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, plus custom fields where Workday exposes them. On the Azure Cosmos DB side: Containers, Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
