Why teams connect BigQuery and Reltio

Connect Reltio and BigQuery with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Reltio's rows in BigQuery, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Reltio where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Reltio sync into BigQuery in real time, and result tables in BigQuery sync back into Reltio, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Land CRM and ERP records in BigQuery continuously so dashboards reflect business systems without nightly batch jobs
  • 02 Activate modeled BigQuery tables by syncing computed attributes back into sales and marketing tools
  • 03 Feed Interactions (transactions, visits, events) into Reltio to enrich entity profiles, then read them back for 360-degree reporting.
  • 04 Mirror the Reltio Activity Log and change history into a database for audit, lineage, and governance reporting.

Common sync patterns

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in BigQuery and keep Reltio focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Reltio land in BigQuery as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between BigQuery and Reltio

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 Reltio objects How this pairing syncs
Partitioned tables Synced like regular tables; partition columns map to target fields. Matches (Potential Matches) Candidate duplicate pairs produced by match rules; read to review, and resolved with merge, unmerge, or not-a-match actions to control survivorship. Partitioned tables is specific to BigQuery and Matches (Potential Matches) to Reltio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clustered tables Supported; clustering is transparent to the sync. Activity Log Immutable audit trail of changes to entities and relations via /activities; read-only, used for history, lineage, and compliance reporting. Clustered tables is specific to BigQuery and Activity Log to Reltio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Datasets Organizational container — you pick which dataset’s tables to sync. Data Change Requests (DCR) Stewardship change proposals routed through approval workflows; read and written to feed or track governed edits to golden records. Datasets is specific to BigQuery and Data Change Requests (DCR) to Reltio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Connection scope: the service account grants access per project. Reference Data (RDM) Managed lookup and reference values (country codes, standardized values, hierarchies); read and updated so downstream systems share consistent reference data. Projects is specific to BigQuery and Reference Data (RDM) to Reltio — 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. Entities Golden records for each configured entity type (for example Organization, Individual/Contact, Location, or Product); full CRUD via /entities, so records are created, updated, and deleted, and Reltio matches and merges them by survivorship rules. Tables is specific to BigQuery and Entities to Reltio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BigQuery and Reltio

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 Reltio 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 Reltio through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Reltio BigQuery Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Reltio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling the REST API on updateTime (epoch-ms), for example filter=gt(updateTime,<timestamp>), for entities and relations changed past a stored.

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.
  • Reltio: Reltio applies per-tenant API throttling and returns HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) when limits are exceeded; there is no single fixed request-per-second cap published for all tenants, and throttling is tuned per tenant and environment. Large loads and reads use bulk create/update and the asynchronous export/jobs API rather than row-by-row calls.

Reltio

Integration surface
Reltio REST API (Data API) — /entities, /relations, /interactions, /activities, plus Match, RDM (reference data), and Data Change Request endpoints; base URL https://{environment}.reltio.com/reltio/api/{tenantId}
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens obtained from Reltio's central auth server (POST https://auth.reltio.com/oauth/token, client-credentials or password grant, application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>; access tokens expire after about 60 minutes and are renewed with a refresh token, and are scoped per API (entities_api, relations_api, interactions_api, configuration_api, graphs_api)
Change detection
Polling the REST API on updateTime (epoch-ms), for example filter=gt(updateTime,<timestamp>), for entities and relations changed past a stored watermark. Reltio has no CDC log external tools consume; separately, Reltio's event streaming can publish entity change events (created, changed, removed) to a customer-configured message queue (Amazon SQS/SNS, Google Pub/Sub, Azure Service Bus, or Kafka), which is a queue feed rather than HTTP webhooks.
