Why teams connect ClickHouse and Gainsight

Get the data locked inside Gainsight into ClickHouse as live tables, and send results back where Gainsight can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Gainsight is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact from Gainsight into tables in ClickHouse continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in ClickHouse can also be written back into fields in Gainsight where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • 04 Land product event data alongside synced CRM accounts so analysts join usage and revenue in one place.

Common sync patterns

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Gainsight's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Gainsight accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in ClickHouse sync back onto records in Gainsight, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in ClickHouse preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Gainsight or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between ClickHouse 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.

ClickHouse objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Distributed tables is specific to ClickHouse and Relationship to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. 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. Dictionaries is specific to ClickHouse and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Tables (MergeTree family) is specific to ClickHouse and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Databases is specific to ClickHouse and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Views is specific to ClickHouse and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Materialized views is specific to ClickHouse and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between ClickHouse 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.

ClickHouse Gainsight Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ClickHouse for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No log-based CDC for consumers.

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

Gainsight ClickHouse 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 ClickHouse 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.
