Why teams connect BambooHR and Dremio

Land the people and organization records from BambooHR in Dremio as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where BambooHR can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether BambooHR is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Dremio next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Time Off, Employment Status, Departments and Divisions, Custom Tables from BambooHR into tables in Dremio continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Dremio, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in BambooHR where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Publish operational database tables into Iceberg via Dremio so the lakehouse reflects current application state.
  • 02 Consolidate data from multiple lake sources through one Dremio semantic layer into a single warehouse target.
  • 03 Feed Compensation and custom-table data to a warehouse for HR analytics with field-level access control.
  • 04 Sync Employees and Employment Status to identity and IT systems so new hires are provisioned and departures deactivated automatically.

Common sync patterns

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from BambooHR arrive in Dremio as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine BambooHR's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Dremio for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

What you can sync between BambooHR and Dremio

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.

BambooHR objects Dremio objects How this pairing syncs
Compensation Effective-dated pay rate, schedule, and change reason; read into planning and payroll systems with access restricted to authorized fields. Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. Compensation is specific to BambooHR and Physical datasets to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Off Requests, balances, and policies; read for absence calendars and capacity planning, with approved requests written from an external scheduling tool. Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. Time Off is specific to BambooHR and Virtual datasets (views) to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Status Effective-dated hire, leave, and termination status; drives automated provisioning and deprovisioning in downstream identity and license systems. Apache Iceberg tables Lakehouse tables supporting DML and snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Employment Status is specific to BambooHR and Apache Iceberg tables to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Departments and Divisions Org-structure list values; synced to keep cost centers and team groupings consistent across ERP, identity, and analytics systems. Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. Departments and Divisions is specific to BambooHR and Spaces and folders to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Tables Company-specific effective-dated tables (assets, training, certifications); rows read and written so custom HR data isn't trapped in the HRIS. Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. Custom Tables is specific to BambooHR and Reflections to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Saved company reports retrievable via API; read out on a schedule to feed a warehouse without rebuilding field-by-field queries. Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. Reports is specific to BambooHR and Jobs to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BambooHR and Dremio

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.

BambooHR Dremio Sub-second propagation

DetectionBambooHR notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. The Get Updated Employee IDs endpoint (last-changed timestamps) returns employees inserted, updated, or deleted since a cursor for efficient polling.

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

Dremio BambooHR Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dremio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • BambooHR: Requests are rate-limited per API key with standard REST throttling (429 on excess); bulk reads are best done through saved Reports or the updated-IDs delta endpoint rather than per-employee calls.
  • Dremio: Bounded by engine capacity and workload management rather than API rate limits.
