Why teams connect Azure OpenAI and Couchbase

Sync the records in Couchbase into Azure OpenAI and land its embeddings, classifications, and generated fields back on the same rows, in real time and without a pipeline to maintain.

Azure OpenAI is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Couchbase, so Couchbase always reflects the current state of Azure OpenAI — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

AI systems do not hold customers or invoices the way business apps do. What they hold is derived from your data: the vectors and metadata in a vector store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was given. Couchbase is where those source records actually live. The bridge between the two is the row itself, since an item in Azure OpenAI and the record in Couchbase it describes are two halves of the same thing, and they drift the moment one is updated without the other.

Stacksync syncs XDCR replications, Full-text search indexes, Buckets, Scopes in Couchbase with Vector stores, Deployments, Models, Fine-tuning jobs in Azure OpenAI in real time. Rows created or changed in Couchbase flow into Azure OpenAI so inference and embedding run on current data, and the scores, labels, and generated fields Azure OpenAI produces flow back onto the matching rows in Couchbase, mapped field by field. A change on either side appears on the other within seconds, with no extraction job or webhook plumbing to keep alive.

Because matching is by a stable identifier, every row in Couchbase stays tied to its AI-side counterpart in Azure OpenAI. Retrieval, enrichment, and generated content always resolve back to the record they came from, so there are no orphaned vectors and no labels describing a version of a row that no longer exists.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull per-deployment TPM/RPM usage into a warehouse for FinOps chargeback and quota-exhaustion alerting.
  • 02 Mirror Assistants and Vector stores configuration into a database as an auditable inventory of retrieval assets and their linked files.
  • 03 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • 04 Two-way sync between Couchbase (serving application data) and a CRM so support and sales teams see live application state.

Common sync patterns

Keep derived data fresh as sources change

When a row in Couchbase is updated or removed, its counterpart in Azure OpenAI is updated or removed too, so nothing in Azure OpenAI describes a record that has since changed or gone.

Backfill once, then stay in step

Load your existing rows from Couchbase into Azure OpenAI to build the index or enrichment set, then let ongoing changes sync automatically instead of re-running the whole job.

One record, one identifier

Each item in Azure OpenAI carries the key of the row in Couchbase it came from, so results resolve back to the exact record with nothing orphaned or duplicated.

What you can sync between Azure OpenAI 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.

Azure OpenAI objects Couchbase objects How this pairing syncs
Files Uploaded training, validation, and batch-input files plus generated output files; listed and read by ID, not written back in sync. Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Files is specific to Azure OpenAI and Buckets to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs; status and output-file IDs are polled to completion to drive downstream pipeline triggers. Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Batch jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Scopes to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage and quota Per-deployment TPM/RPM consumption and remaining quota, read from usage endpoints and Azure Monitor for cost and throttling reporting. Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Usage and quota is specific to Azure OpenAI and Collections to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assistants Persistent assistants (preview) with instructions, tools, and linked files; read as configuration inventory, not authored via sync. JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Assistants is specific to Azure OpenAI and JSON Documents to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vector stores File collections (preview) backing file-search retrieval; read as metadata such as name, file counts, and status. Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Vector stores is specific to Azure OpenAI and Global Secondary Indexes to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deployments Named model deployments (model, version, SKU, assigned TPM capacity) read as a control-plane inventory via Azure Resource Manager; read-only in sync. XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Deployments is specific to Azure OpenAI and XDCR replications to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure OpenAI 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.

Azure OpenAI Couchbase Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure OpenAI for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: list endpoints plus GET on job IDs for status.

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

Couchbase Azure OpenAI 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.

DeliveryAzure OpenAI does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Azure OpenAI's output flows back as field updates on the originating Couchbase records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure OpenAI: Per-deployment TPM and RPM limits (about 6 RPM per 1000 TPM), scoped by region and subscription; control-plane ARM calls throttle separately.
  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.
