Two-way sync
Changes in Box or Rockset instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Box and Rockset in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
Rockset keeps the tables and query results a business reports on; Box keeps the raw files, documents, and objects that the same business produces and shares. The two overlap wherever a dataset lives as both — a file dropped in Box that has to become rows in Rockset, or a result in Rockset that people downstream need back as a file in Box. When that overlap is bridged by manual export and import or an overnight job, one side spends the day working from a stale copy.
Stacksync syncs Virtual Instances, Collections, Documents, Workspaces in Rockset with Tasks, Events, Files, Folders in Box field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.
The catalog of documents, owners, and folders in Box appears as Virtual Instances, Collections, Documents, Workspaces in Rockset, so file metadata can be joined against the rest of your data and reported on.
Classifications, scores, or status derived in Rockset are written back onto the matching Tasks, Events, Files, Folders in Box as metadata or tags, so the file store reflects what analytics decided.
Files and exports that arrive in Box are parsed into Virtual Instances, Collections, Documents, Workspaces in Rockset as they land, so analysts query current data instead of waiting on the next scheduled load.
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.
| Box objects | Rockset objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. | Documents JSON records addressable by _id, written via the Write API in sync pipelines. | Folders is specific to Box and Documents to Rockset — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. | Workspaces Namespaces that group collections and query lambdas per team or environment. | Metadata is specific to Box and Workspaces to Rockset — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. | Query Lambdas Named, parameterized SQL queries invoked over REST to read synced data. | Collaborations is specific to Box and Query Lambdas to Rockset — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. | Aliases Stable names that point at collections, used to swap datasets without changing queries. | Users is specific to Box and Aliases to Rockset — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. | Integrations Managed source connections (databases, streams, object storage) feeding collections. | Groups is specific to Box and Integrations to Rockset — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. | Virtual Instances Isolated compute units that separate ingest from query workloads. | Tasks is specific to Box and Virtual Instances to Rockset — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Rockset as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
DetectionStacksync polls Rockset for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL queries on timestamp fields.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every Box–Rockset connection.
Changes in Box or Rockset instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Trigger automated workflows whenever Box or Rockset data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.
Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Box or Rockset record.
Track your Box ⇄ Rockset sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.
Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Box and Rockset.
Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.
Authenticate Box and Rockset with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the Box and Rockset objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Box and Rockset: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Box's Folders and Metadata), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Box and Rockset. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
Change detection on Box: V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed. On Rockset: Polling via SQL queries on timestamp fields; ingestion-side change capture is handled by Rockset's managed source connectors. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
On the Rockset side: Virtual Instances, Collections, Documents, Workspaces, plus custom fields where Rockset exposes them. On the Box side: Tasks, Events, Files, Folders. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
Common patterns for Box and Rockset: Where Box holds the file inventory: make it queryable; Where Rockset computes the labels: push them onto the files; Where Box receives the raw files: land them as query-ready rows. The catalog of documents, owners, and folders in Box appears as Virtual Instances, Collections, Documents, Workspaces in Rockset, so file metadata can be joined against the rest of your data and reported on.
