Why teams connect ClickHouse and Recurly

Land the financial records from Recurly in ClickHouse continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Subscriptions, Plans, Invoices, Transactions from Recurly into tables in ClickHouse in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in ClickHouse can be written back to fields in Recurly where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • 01 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 02 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 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

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in ClickHouse, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Recurly where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in ClickHouse gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Recurly arrive in ClickHouse as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between ClickHouse and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Databases is specific to ClickHouse and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Views is specific to ClickHouse and Transactions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Materialized views is specific to ClickHouse and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Distributed tables is specific to ClickHouse and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — 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. Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). Dictionaries is specific to ClickHouse and Billing Info to Recurly — 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. Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Tables (MergeTree family) is specific to ClickHouse and Measured Units and Usage to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between ClickHouse and Recurly

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

Recurly ClickHouse Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
