Why teams connect Braze and Render Postgres

Mirror Braze's data into Render Postgres so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Braze through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Render Postgres.

Stacksync mirrors Canvases, Subscription Groups, Content Blocks, Users from Braze into Indexes and Constraints, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Render Postgres and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Braze, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push product usage events from a database or warehouse into Braze to trigger onboarding and retention journeys.
  • 02 Keep subscription and consent states consistent between Braze subscription groups and the CRM or CDP of record.
  • 03 Serve as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.
  • 04 Replicate between a Render database and another Postgres or warehouse for migration or environment separation.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Braze arrive as row changes in Render Postgres, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Braze with a query

Records from Braze are ordinary rows in Render Postgres; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Braze and Render Postgres

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.

Braze objects Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Custom Attributes is specific to Braze and Schemas to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Custom Events is specific to Braze and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Purchases is specific to Braze and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Segments is specific to Braze and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Campaigns is specific to Braze and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Canvases is specific to Braze and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braze and Render Postgres

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.

Braze Render Postgres Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Braze for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Braze Currents streams engagement events outward.

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

Render Postgres Braze Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Braze: Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
