Why teams connect CockroachDB and OpenSearch
Keep CockroachDB and OpenSearch synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.
Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.
Stacksync syncs tables or collections between CockroachDB and OpenSearch continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.
Common use cases
- 01 Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.
- 02 Consolidate data from several SaaS tools into one distributed SQL store that survives zone failures.
- 03 Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.
- 04 Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.
Common sync patterns
Cross-engine sync
Keep the same dataset live in both CockroachDB and OpenSearch, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.
Migration with zero-downtime cutover
When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.
Shared reference data between services
Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.
What you can sync between CockroachDB and OpenSearch
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 | OpenSearch objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. | Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. | Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository | Sequences is specific to CockroachDB and Snapshots to OpenSearch — 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. | Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries | Changefeeds is specific to CockroachDB and Documents to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. | Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills | Databases is specific to CockroachDB and Index aliases to OpenSearch — 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. | Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates | Schemas is specific to CockroachDB and Index templates to OpenSearch — 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. | Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written | Tables is specific to CockroachDB and Ingest pipelines to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between CockroachDB and OpenSearch
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 OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
OpenSearch CockroachDB Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.
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.
- OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.

FAQ
CockroachDB and OpenSearch integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between CockroachDB and OpenSearch: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as CockroachDB's Indexes and Sequences), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means CockroachDB and OpenSearch records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed CockroachDB and OpenSearch connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom CockroachDB–OpenSearch integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both CockroachDB and OpenSearch. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on CockroachDB: CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback. On OpenSearch: No native change feed; reads rely on queries with scroll or point-in-time polling. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the CockroachDB side: Changefeeds, Databases, Schemas, Tables, plus custom fields where CockroachDB exposes them. On the OpenSearch side: Documents, Index aliases, Index templates, Ingest pipelines. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
