Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Ramp

Land the financial records from Ramp in Cloudera Data Platform 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 Departments, Reimbursements, Bills, Vendors from Ramp into tables in Cloudera Data Platform in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Cloudera Data Platform can be written back to fields in Ramp 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 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 02 Mirror Bills and their approval and payment state into an AP or ERP system, marking each one ready-to-sync then synced to keep both ledgers reconciled.
  • 03 Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.
  • 04 Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.

Common sync patterns

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Ramp arrive in Cloudera Data Platform as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Ramp's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in Cloudera Data Platform for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

Write-back of computed fields

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

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform and Ramp

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 Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Users to Ramp — 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. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Views is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Departments to Ramp — 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. Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Partitions is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Reimbursements to Ramp — 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. Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Object store / HDFS files is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Bills to Ramp — 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. Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Databases is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Vendors to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Hive tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Funds (Spend Controls) to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform and Ramp

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

Ramp Cloudera Data Platform Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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.
  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.
