Why teams connect Azure OpenAI and Postgres Heroku

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

Stacksync syncs Sequences, Follower Databases, Tables, Views in Postgres Heroku with Batch jobs, Usage and quota, Assistants, Vector stores in Azure OpenAI in real time. Rows created or changed in Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku, 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 Postgres Heroku 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 Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
  • 04 Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record

Common sync patterns

Keep derived data fresh as sources change

When a row in Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku it came from, so results resolve back to the exact record with nothing orphaned or duplicated.

What you can sync between Azure OpenAI and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku 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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Files is specific to Azure OpenAI and JSONB Columns to Postgres Heroku — 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. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Batch jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Sequences to Postgres Heroku — 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. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Usage and quota is specific to Azure OpenAI and Follower Databases to Postgres Heroku — 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. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. Assistants is specific to Azure OpenAI and Tables to Postgres Heroku — 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. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Vector stores is specific to Azure OpenAI and Views to Postgres Heroku — 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. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Deployments is specific to Azure OpenAI and Materialized Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure OpenAI and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Postgres Heroku Azure OpenAI Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.

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 Postgres Heroku 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.
  • Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.
