Why teams connect Citus and Gainsight

Mirror Gainsight's data into Citus 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 Gainsight 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 Citus.

Stacksync mirrors Company, Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action) from Gainsight into Schemas, Views, Sequences, Distributed tables in Citus 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 Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 03 Use a Citus cluster as the scalable operational store behind a customer-facing app while syncing summaries back to internal tools.
  • 04 Consolidate per-tenant rows from distributed tables into per-customer reporting databases.

Common sync patterns

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Citus and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Gainsight arrive as row changes in Citus, 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.

What you can sync between Citus and Gainsight

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.

Citus objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Distributed tables is specific to Citus and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Reference tables is specific to Citus and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Local tables is specific to Citus and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Schemas is specific to Citus and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Views is specific to Citus and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Sequences is specific to Citus and Custom Objects to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Citus and Gainsight

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.

Citus Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Citus are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres.

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

Gainsight Citus Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
