Why teams connect Box and VoltDB

Keep VoltDB and Box in step: a row in VoltDB for every file in Box, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in VoltDB says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Box holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Partitioned Tables, Replicated Tables, Stored Procedures, Materialized Views in VoltDB with Files, Folders, Metadata, Collaborations in Box bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push aggregates from VoltDB materialized views into dashboards or operational tools.
  • 02 Sync customer or account reference data from a CRM into VoltDB replicated tables for in-transaction lookups such as fraud or policy checks.
  • 03 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.
  • 04 Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.

Common sync patterns

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Box become rows in VoltDB as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

Continuous archival to file storage

Rows from VoltDB are written out to Box as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.

A queryable index of the file store

Every file or object in Box shows up as a row in VoltDB, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.

What you can sync between Box and VoltDB

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 VoltDB objects How this pairing syncs
Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources. Tasks is specific to Box and Materialized Views to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows. Events is specific to Box and Streams to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks. Files is specific to Box and Export Targets and Topics to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target. Folders is specific to Box and Partitioned Tables to VoltDB — 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. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data. Metadata is specific to Box and Replicated Tables to VoltDB — 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. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface. Collaborations is specific to Box and Stored Procedures to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box and VoltDB

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.

Box VoltDB Sub-second propagation

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 VoltDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

VoltDB Box Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls VoltDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Export streams and topics push committed changes to configured targets.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
  • VoltDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by partition count and cluster sizing.
