Why teams connect Citus and Sharepoint

Keep Citus and Sharepoint in step: a row in Citus for every file in Sharepoint, 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 Citus says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Sharepoint 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 Reference tables, Local tables, Schemas, Views in Citus with Drive items (document libraries), Columns and content types, Permissions and sharing, Site pages in Sharepoint 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 Consolidate per-tenant rows from distributed tables into per-customer reporting databases.
  • 02 Sync high-volume event or tenant data from a Citus cluster into a warehouse for cross-tenant analytics.
  • 03 Stream list and library changes through delta query and change-notification webhooks into a warehouse for audit, access-review, and reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync SharePoint List items with a database table so internal apps read and write structured records in SQL without calling the SharePoint API directly.

Common sync patterns

Records that point at documents

Where a record in Citus references a file in Sharepoint, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Sharepoint become rows in Citus 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 Citus are written out to Sharepoint 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.

What you can sync between Citus and Sharepoint

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 Sharepoint objects How this pairing syncs
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Lists Custom lists and libraries via /sites/{id}/lists; create and read lists along with their columns and content types so a target system can mirror or provision list definitions. Views is specific to Citus and Lists to Sharepoint — 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. List items Rows in a SharePoint list via /lists/{id}/items with a fields facet of column values; full create, read, update, and delete, synced two-way with database rows. Sequences is specific to Citus and List items to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Drive items (document libraries) Files and folders in a library's drive via /drives and /drive/root; upload, download, move, delete, and read per-item metadata, synced two-way with a store. Distributed tables is specific to Citus and Drive items (document libraries) to Sharepoint — 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. Columns and content types Field definitions and content types on a site or list; read the schema and create columns so database fields map cleanly onto SharePoint list fields. Reference tables is specific to Citus and Columns and content types to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Permissions and sharing Role assignments and sharing links on sites, list items, and drive items; read and written to manage access, requiring Sites.Manage.All or Sites.FullControl.All scopes. Local tables is specific to Citus and Permissions and sharing to Sharepoint — 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. Site pages Modern site pages via /sites/{id}/pages; read page content, layout, and metadata for indexing and content governance. Schemas is specific to Citus and Site pages to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Citus and Sharepoint

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 Sharepoint 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 Sharepoint through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sharepoint Citus Sub-second propagation

DetectionSharepoint notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Sharepoint: SharePoint Online throttles per app, returning HTTP 429 (or 503) with a Retry-After header in seconds and IETF RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset headers; throttled requests still count toward limits, so clients honor the greater of Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset with exponential backoff.

Sharepoint

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph REST API (graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 and beta) covering SharePoint sites, lists, list items, columns, content types, and document-library drives and drive items; plus the classic SharePoint REST API (_api/web) and CSOM. Supports Graph JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Selected, Sites.Manage.All, or Sites.FullControl.All, plus Files.ReadWrite.All for drive content; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last deltaLink; change-notification subscriptions (push webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications for list and drive/root changes to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire. Classic SharePoint list webhooks are also available.
