Why teams connect BetterContact and CockroachDB

Mirror BetterContact's data into CockroachDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

BetterContact is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into CockroachDB, so CockroachDB always reflects the current state of BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Engineers integrate with tools like BetterContact through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in CockroachDB.

Stacksync mirrors Enrichment Request, Enriched Contact, Company, Lead Finder Search from BetterContact into Views, Indexes, Sequences, Changefeeds in CockroachDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into BetterContact, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
  • 02 Validate catch-all email addresses before sending to protect sender domain reputation.
  • 03 Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.
  • 04 Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in BetterContact arrive as row changes in CockroachDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read BetterContact with a query

Records from BetterContact are ordinary rows in CockroachDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between BetterContact and CockroachDB

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.

BetterContact objects CockroachDB objects How this pairing syncs
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Changefeeds to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Databases to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Schemas to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Company is specific to BetterContact and Tables to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and CockroachDB

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.

BetterContact CockroachDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

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

CockroachDB BetterContact Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in CockroachDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes.

DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating CockroachDB records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • CockroachDB: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity.
