Why teams connect BigQuery and PagerDuty

Close the gap between analytics and operations: BigQuery holds the record while PagerDuty runs the day-to-day work, and Stacksync keeps the two in step in real time, in both directions.

BigQuery is the central store where teams keep Projects, Tables, Partitioned tables, Clustered tables for reporting and analysis; PagerDuty runs the operational side of engineering work — tracking issues, moving messages and events, watching systems, and managing users and access. The two overlap wherever the same operational data matters to both: the Services, Users, Teams, Schedules produced in PagerDuty are exactly what analysts want to measure in BigQuery, and the curated rows in BigQuery are what should drive the next action in PagerDuty. When that overlap is bridged by nightly ETL or hand-written scripts, dashboards lag a day behind reality and the tools that should react to warehouse signals never see them.

Stacksync syncs Projects, Tables, Partitioned tables, Clustered tables in BigQuery with Services, Users, Teams, Schedules in PagerDuty field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync matches records on a stable external key, keeps every copy consistent, and resolves conflicts by rules you set — so analytics and operations work from the same current data instead of two drifting copies.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed ML feature tables in BigQuery from operational systems on a continuous schedule
  • 02 Land CRM and ERP records in BigQuery continuously so dashboards reflect business systems without nightly batch jobs
  • 03 Write Schedules and Escalation Policies from a workforce tool or source-of-truth spreadsheet so rotations and overrides stay consistent across teams.
  • 04 Mirror Services and their integration keys with a CMDB or service catalog so ownership and tier metadata stay aligned in both directions.

Common sync patterns

One shared record, kept consistent

Where both systems track the same entity, a change on either side propagates to the other, ending the manual reconciliation between the operational copy and the warehouse copy.

Keep user and access records aligned

Where PagerDuty manages users, directory, or access data, those records stay current in BigQuery — and can be provisioned back from it — so ownership and permissions match across both.

Operational data lands in BigQuery for analytics

Records created in PagerDuty — issues, events, messages, metrics, or user changes — replicate into BigQuery tables as they happen, so reporting runs on current data instead of last night's export.

What you can sync between BigQuery and PagerDuty

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.

BigQuery objects PagerDuty objects How this pairing syncs
Clustered tables Supported; clustering is transparent to the sync. Escalation Policies Ordered rules routing incidents to users and schedules; read and written two-way to codify paging logic from a source of truth. Clustered tables is specific to BigQuery and Escalation Policies to PagerDuty — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Datasets Organizational container — you pick which dataset’s tables to sync. On-Calls Computed view of who is on call now, derived from schedules and escalation policies; read-only, ideal for pushing current responders into other systems. Datasets is specific to BigQuery and On-Calls to PagerDuty — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Connection scope: the service account grants access per project. Notes and Log Entries Notes are writable to append context to an incident; log entries are a read-only record of every action taken on that incident. Projects is specific to BigQuery and Notes and Log Entries to PagerDuty — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The syncable unit: only tables can be synced per the Stacksync docs. Incidents Core records with status of triggered, acknowledged, or resolved plus urgency and assignments; created, updated, and resolved two-way, with V3 webhooks firing on each transition. Tables is specific to BigQuery and Incidents to PagerDuty — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitioned tables Synced like regular tables; partition columns map to target fields. Services Technical services that group incidents and hold integration keys; read and written two-way, with service.created, service.updated, and service.deleted webhook events. Partitioned tables is specific to BigQuery and Services to PagerDuty — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BigQuery and PagerDuty

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.

BigQuery PagerDuty Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in BigQuery are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Real-time notification service deployed into your Google Cloud project: Eventarc ("a notification service that enables real-time updates to happen").

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

PagerDuty BigQuery Sub-second propagation

DetectionPagerDuty notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V3 webhook subscriptions push incident.* and service.* events (triggered, acknowledged, escalated, resolved, created, updated).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • BigQuery: Subject to Google Cloud quotas on queries, DML, and streaming; DML is supported but the platform favors append-heavy batch and streaming loads over row-at-a-time writes.
  • PagerDuty: REST API allows 960 requests per minute per token and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; the Events API is rate-limited separately per integration key.
