Why teams connect CockroachDB and Mixpanel

Give Mixpanel the users, events, and records that live in CockroachDB in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Mixpanel computes back into CockroachDB where your applications read them.

Mixpanel is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into CockroachDB, so CockroachDB always reflects the current state of Mixpanel — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Mixpanel is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from CockroachDB into Mixpanel usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Cohort membership into an operational database to drive lifecycle email and in-app targeting from a single source.
  • 02 Read Funnel and Retention reports from the Query API into a reporting database for executive dashboards without manual CSV pulls.
  • 03 Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
  • 04 Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.

Common sync patterns

Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline

The users, events, orders, and records stored in CockroachDB land in Mixpanel as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

One version of each user or account

A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Mixpanel because they sync from CockroachDB as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Mixpanel

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 Mixpanel objects How this pairing syncs
Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Lookup Tables Dimension tables joined to events; capped at 100MB with 100 writes per 24h, so treated as reference data. Changefeeds is specific to CockroachDB and Lookup Tables to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Lexicon Schemas Event and property definitions (metadata); read to reconcile the tracking plan against a warehouse schema. Databases is specific to CockroachDB and Lexicon Schemas to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Events Time-stamped user actions (live via /track, historical via /import); the primary dataset read out through the Raw Data Export API by date range. Schemas is specific to CockroachDB and Events to Mixpanel — 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. User Profiles People records (Engage) with properties like email, plan, and last-seen; read through the Engage/Query API and joined to event data. Tables is specific to CockroachDB and User Profiles to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Group Profiles Account or workspace-level records from Group Analytics; read to roll event data up to a company or org dimension. Views is specific to CockroachDB and Group Profiles to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Cohorts Saved user segments; membership pulled through the Engage/cohorts Query API to drive downstream lifecycle lists. Indexes is specific to CockroachDB and Cohorts to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between CockroachDB and Mixpanel

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 Mixpanel 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.

DeliveryMixpanel does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Mixpanel's output flows back as field updates on the originating CockroachDB records.

Mixpanel CockroachDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Mixpanel for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: the Raw Data Export API is polled over an event-time date window (from_date/to_date).

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.
  • Mixpanel: Raw Data Export API allows 60 queries/hour, 3/second, and up to 100 concurrent; the Query API allows 60/hour with 5 concurrent; exceeding limits returns a 429.
