Why teams connect CockroachDB and Smartsheet

Mirror Smartsheet's data into CockroachDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Smartsheet through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in CockroachDB.

Stacksync mirrors Attachments, Discussions and Comments, Users and Groups, Sheets from Smartsheet into Sequences, Changefeeds, Databases, Schemas in CockroachDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Smartsheet, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync a project-tracker Sheet's Rows with a Postgres table so engineering works in SQL while project managers stay in Smartsheet.
  • 02 Write records from a CRM or ERP into Smartsheet Rows so ops teams manage intake and status in a grid, then push status Cells back to the source.
  • 03 Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.
  • 04 Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Smartsheet arrive as row changes in CockroachDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Smartsheet with a query

Records from Smartsheet are ordinary rows in CockroachDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Smartsheet

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 Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Sheets The core container; each sheet has typed columns, rows, and a modifiedAt stamp. Stacksync treats a sheet as a table and syncs its rows two-way. Views is specific to CockroachDB and Sheets to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Indexes is specific to CockroachDB and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Sequences is specific to CockroachDB and Columns to Smartsheet — 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. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Changefeeds is specific to CockroachDB and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Databases is specific to CockroachDB and Reports to Smartsheet — 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. Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Schemas is specific to CockroachDB and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between CockroachDB and Smartsheet

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

Smartsheet CockroachDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionSmartsheet notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Sheet-scoped webhooks subscribed to *.* events notify on row and cell changes.

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.
  • Smartsheet: 300 requests per minute per access token; heavy calls like posting attachments cost 10x (30/min). A 429 returns errorCode 4003, back off ~60s.
