Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Ramp

Work with Ramp's financial data straight from Azure SQL Database: 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 Funds (Spend Controls), General Ledger Accounts, Transactions, Cards from Ramp into Change tracking / CDC tables, Tables, Views, Schemas in Azure SQL Database and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Azure SQL Database, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Ramp with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 03 Replicate Azure SQL tables to a warehouse without building custom CDC pipelines.
  • 04 Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Ramp live in Azure SQL Database as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Azure SQL Database; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Ramp.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Azure SQL Database propagate into Ramp, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and Ramp

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 SQL Database objects Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Stored procedures is specific to Azure SQL Database and General Ledger Accounts to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Transactions Card purchase records with merchant, amount, and state; read for spend/GL sync and written back via accounting codings and sync status. Change tracking / CDC tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Transactions to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Cards Physical and virtual card records; created and managed through the API to provision or suspend cardholder spend. Tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Cards to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Views is specific to Azure SQL Database and Users to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Schemas is specific to Azure SQL Database and Departments to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Rows and columns is specific to Azure SQL Database and Reimbursements to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure SQL Database and Ramp

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 SQL Database Ramp Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure SQL Database are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ramp through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ramp Azure SQL Database Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.

Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
