Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Demandbase

Put modeled data to work and measure what it drives: Cloudera Data Platform and Demandbase keep contacts, audiences, and campaign results in step in real time, in both directions.

Cloudera Data Platform is where your team models customers, product usage, and revenue into trusted tables; Demandbase runs the campaigns, audiences, and messages that reach those people. The two overlap wherever the same person, account, or segment matters to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built list, marketing targets stale data while analytics never sees what the campaign returned.

Stacksync syncs Partitions, Object store / HDFS files, Databases, Hive tables in Cloudera Data Platform with Change Subscriptions, Accounts, Opportunities, People (Persons) in Demandbase field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — a computed score or segment can flow out to Demandbase while sends, opens, and conversions flow back to Cloudera Data Platform — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.
  • 02 Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.
  • 03 Subscribe to Demandbase company and person change webhooks - firmographic updates, M&A, and leadership or employment changes - and land them in an operational store for real-time account alerts.
  • 04 Push warehouse-computed account scores, custom fields, and audiences into Demandbase via the Data Import API so ABM campaigns and sales plays target the segments the warehouse defines.

Common sync patterns

Enrich records with warehouse context

Product-usage counts, plan tier, region, or account owner computed in Cloudera Data Platform appear on the matching record in Demandbase, so targeting, routing, and personalization use up-to-date context.

Activate a modeled audience

A segment or score built in Cloudera Data Platform — high-intent accounts, churn risk, a lifetime-value tier — lands as an audience or contact field in Demandbase, so campaigns target the people your data actually points to instead of a static export.

Keep the contact and audience list current

New and updated contacts, leads, or audience members flow between Cloudera Data Platform and Demandbase, so the marketing audience reflects the people in your warehouse and corrections propagate instead of the two sides drifting apart.

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform and Demandbase

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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Demandbase objects How this pairing syncs
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Opportunities Opportunity records synced from the CRM into Demandbase; exported with calculated insights and imported or updated through the Data Import API. Read and write. Kudu tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Opportunities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. People (Persons) Contact/person records with verified business email, title, seniority, and quality grades; fetched and matched via the B2B Contact endpoints and exported or imported. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and People (Persons) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data. Activities Engagement and custom activity records (web, campaign, intent); exported via Data Export and pushed in through the Data Import API using custom activity types. Views is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Activities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitions Table partitions (often by date) that incremental extraction jobs use to scope reads. Campaigns Marketing campaign records and creative assets exported through the Data Export API; read-only reporting feed. Partitions is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Campaigns to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Account & Person Lists (Audiences) Named account and person segments exported via Data Export; custom audiences pushed into Demandbase through the Data Import API. Read and write. Object store / HDFS files is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Account & Person Lists (Audiences) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Company Details (B2B enrichment) Firmographics, technographics, competitors, and corporate family tree fetched by domain or name via the B2B Company Search and Details endpoints; read-only enrichment. Databases is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Company Details (B2B enrichment) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform and Demandbase

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.

Cloudera Data Platform Demandbase Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Cloudera Data Platform for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns.

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

Demandbase Cloudera Data Platform Sub-second propagation

DetectionDemandbase notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.
  • Demandbase: Credit-based per API call; bulk jobs accept up to 10,000 records per submission, CSV uploads up to 5GB, and result URLs stay valid 24 hours; subscription alerts page up to 5,000 entities and list endpoints up to 100 per page.

Authentication
JWT bearer tokens minted from Demandbase One API Key Sets at the platform level; each credential set expires after 8 hours and is rotated. Legacy single-user API tokens are deprecated.
Change detection
Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL secured with a signing secret; bulk reads run as async export jobs (submit, poll, download). No log-based CDC.
