Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Gainsight

Get the data locked inside Gainsight into Cloudera Data Platform 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 Relationship, CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact, Timeline Activity from Gainsight into tables in Cloudera Data Platform continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Cloudera Data Platform can also be written back into fields in Gainsight where the tool can use them.

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 Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.
  • 04 Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.

Common sync patterns

History that outlives the tool

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

Analytics on Gainsight's data

Records and events from Gainsight land in Cloudera Data Platform as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

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

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Hive tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Company to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Impala tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Person (People) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. 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. Kudu tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Relationship to Gainsight — 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. 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. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — 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. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Views is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — 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. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Partitions is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform Gainsight 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 Gainsight through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Gainsight Cloudera Data Platform 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 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.
  • 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.
