Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and YugabyteDB

Keep Azure SQL Database and YugabyteDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Azure SQL Database and YugabyteDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.
  • 02 Expose SaaS data (billing, support tickets) as tables in Azure SQL for reporting teams already on Microsoft tooling.
  • 03 Sync reference data such as pricing or entitlements from an ERP into YugabyteDB for globally distributed low-latency reads.
  • 04 Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.

Common sync patterns

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Azure SQL Database and YugabyteDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Change tracking / CDC tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Indexes to YugabyteDB — 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. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. Views is specific to Azure SQL Database and Materialized Views to YugabyteDB — 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. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Rows and columns is specific to Azure SQL Database and Sequences to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. Stored procedures is specific to Azure SQL Database and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure SQL Database and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB 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 applied to YugabyteDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

YugabyteDB Azure SQL Database Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

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