Why teams connect Azure OpenAI and OpenSearch

Sync the records in OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch, so OpenSearch 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. OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch it describes are two halves of the same thing, and they drift the moment one is updated without the other.

Stacksync syncs Documents, Index aliases, Index templates, Ingest pipelines in OpenSearch with Fine-tuning jobs, Files, Batch jobs, Usage and quota in Azure OpenAI in real time. Rows created or changed in OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch, 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 OpenSearch 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 Mirror Assistants and Vector stores configuration into a database as an auditable inventory of retrieval assets and their linked files.
  • 02 Sync the Deployments inventory (model, version, TPM capacity) into Postgres so platform teams track every Azure OpenAI deployment across subscriptions in SQL.
  • 03 Backfill or rebuild indexes from a database after mapping changes without hand-written ETL.
  • 04 Stream CRM records such as accounts, contacts, and tickets into OpenSearch to power internal search across customer data.

Common sync patterns

Backfill once, then stay in step

Load your existing rows from OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch it came from, so results resolve back to the exact record with nothing orphaned or duplicated.

Run the AI on current data

Rows created or changed in OpenSearch flow into Azure OpenAI as they happen, so embeddings, classifications, and prompts run on the latest records instead of a nightly snapshot.

What you can sync between Azure OpenAI and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch 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. Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Files is specific to Azure OpenAI and Index templates to OpenSearch — 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. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Batch jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Ingest pipelines to OpenSearch — 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. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Usage and quota is specific to Azure OpenAI and Data streams to OpenSearch — 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. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository Assistants is specific to Azure OpenAI and Snapshots to OpenSearch — 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. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Vector stores is specific to Azure OpenAI and Indexes to OpenSearch — 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. Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries Deployments is specific to Azure OpenAI and Documents to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure OpenAI and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch 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 written to OpenSearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

OpenSearch Azure OpenAI Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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 OpenSearch 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.
  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.
