Why teams connect CockroachDB and Datadog

Keep CockroachDB and Datadog in step: the rows in your database and the Dashboards, Metrics, Incidents, Service Level Objectives your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

CockroachDB is where your application's durable data lives; Datadog is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Schemas, Tables, Views, Indexes in CockroachDB with Dashboards, Metrics, Incidents, Service Level Objectives in Datadog field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
  • 02 Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.
  • 03 Load Events and Incidents into a warehouse to correlate deploys, alerts, and outages on one timeline for post-incident review.
  • 04 Pull the Hosts inventory into a CMDB or database for asset tracking, tag hygiene, and cost allocation across teams.

Common sync patterns

Where Datadog manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Datadog stay matched to the users or owners table in CockroachDB, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in CockroachDB creates or updates the matching record in Datadog, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Datadog arrive in CockroachDB as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Datadog

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.

CockroachDB objects Datadog objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Monitors Alert definitions with query, thresholds, and current state via the v1 Monitors API, which supports full create, update, and delete; Stacksync reads alert state into a warehouse or provisions and updates monitors from a config source. Schemas is specific to CockroachDB and Monitors to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Logs Log events searched via the v2 Logs search endpoint by time window and submittable through the log intake API; commonly streamed to a warehouse for retention beyond Datadog's storage period. Tables is specific to CockroachDB and Logs to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Events The event stream (deploys, alerts, comments) searched via the v2 Events endpoint and posted via POST /api/v1/events; used to correlate deploy and incident timelines or to publish deploy and pipeline events into Datadog. Views is specific to CockroachDB and Events to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via the v1 Dashboards API with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit, or created and updated programmatically from a source of truth. Indexes is specific to CockroachDB and Dashboards to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Metrics Time-series metrics queried in aggregate windows through the query API and submitted via POST /api/v1/series; individual raw points cannot be extracted beyond retention. Sequences is specific to CockroachDB and Metrics to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Incidents Incident records from the v2 Incidents API with full CRUD, including status and timeline fields; landed in a database for MTTR reporting or created and updated from an external incident workflow. Changefeeds is specific to CockroachDB and Incidents to Datadog — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between CockroachDB and Datadog

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.

CockroachDB Datadog Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in CockroachDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes.

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

Datadog CockroachDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionDatadog notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • CockroachDB: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity.
  • Datadog: Per-endpoint limits return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Period/-Reset headers. Log ingestion and metric submission are not rate limited; search endpoints such as Logs and Events queries carry quotas that Datadog Support can raise.

How the CockroachDB and Datadog connectors work

CockroachDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
Authentication
Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
Change detection
CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
Capabilities

Datadog

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2)
Authentication
API key (DD-API-KEY) plus an Application key (DD-APPLICATION-KEY) sent as request headers; application keys are tied to the creating user and inherit that user's permissions and authorization scopes.
Change detection
Polling with time-windowed search queries on Logs and Events (timestamp cursor); monitor alerts can also push via the Webhooks notification integration. No modified-date CDC on mutable objects.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Per-endpoint limits return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Period/-Reset headers. Log ingestion and metric submission are not rate limited; search endpoints such as Logs and Events queries carry quotas that Datadog Support can raise.
