Why teams connect Bill and CockroachDB

Work with Bill's financial data straight from CockroachDB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Bills, Vendors, Invoices, Customers from Bill into Sequences, Changefeeds, Databases, Schemas in CockroachDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against CockroachDB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Bill with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read approved Bills and their line items into a Postgres warehouse for spend, accrual, and cash-flow reporting without CSV exports.
  • 02 Sync Customers and Invoices from BILL AR into a CRM or ERP so sales and finance see billing and payment status on the account.
  • 03 Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.
  • 04 Consolidate data from several SaaS tools into one distributed SQL store that survives zone failures.

Common sync patterns

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in CockroachDB propagate into Bill, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Bill appear in CockroachDB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Bill live in CockroachDB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Bill 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.

Bill objects CockroachDB objects How this pairing syncs
Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Databases to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Schemas to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Vendor Credits and Credit Memos is specific to Bill and Tables to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills Accounts-payable amounts owed to vendors, with bill line items; read and created via /v3/bills and pulled incrementally by filtering on createdTime/updatedTime. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Bills is specific to Bill and Views to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Vendors is specific to Bill and Indexes to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Invoices is specific to Bill and Sequences to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill 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.

Bill CockroachDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

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

CockroachDB Bill 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.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
  • CockroachDB: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity.
