Why teams connect CockroachDB and Shipwire

Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in CockroachDB: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Stock, Receivings, Returns, Purchase Orders from Shipwire into CockroachDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Shipwire holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in CockroachDB, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Shipwire with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

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 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.
  • 04 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Shipwire API, rate limits, and retries.

React to store changes

Updates in Shipwire arrive as row changes in CockroachDB, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in CockroachDB sync back onto Shipwire, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Shipwire

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 Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Rates Shipping cost quotes for a cart or order; read-only, called at checkout time to estimate carrier costs rather than synced as stored records. Sequences is specific to CockroachDB and Rates to Shipwire — 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. Orders B2C fulfillment orders (create, update, cancel, get) with item, hold, routing, and tracking subresources; typically written from a storefront or ERP and synced back with status and trackings. Changefeeds is specific to CockroachDB and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Products Catalog SKUs including kits, virtual kits, and marketplace products; created and edited via API, commonly mastered in a PIM or ERP and pushed into Shipwire with dimensions and pricing. Databases is specific to CockroachDB and Products to Shipwire — 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. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Schemas is specific to CockroachDB and Stock to Shipwire — 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. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Tables is specific to CockroachDB and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Views is specific to CockroachDB and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between CockroachDB and Shipwire

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

Shipwire CockroachDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionShipwire notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed, near real-time) on order, tracking, stock, receiving, return, and product topics.

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.
  • Shipwire: No published per-second request cap; list responses page at 20 items (recommended max ~200) and webhook payloads carry at most 20 items per resource, so large records must be paged via the response next links.
