Why teams connect Couchbase and Gainsight

Mirror Gainsight's data into Couchbase 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 Gainsight 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 Couchbase.

Stacksync mirrors Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact from Gainsight into Global Secondary Indexes, XDCR replications, Full-text search indexes, Buckets in Couchbase 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 Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 03 Sync Couchbase JSON documents into Postgres or a warehouse where analysts work with flattened relational tables.
  • 04 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.

Common sync patterns

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 Gainsight with a query

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

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Couchbase and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Couchbase and Gainsight

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.

Couchbase objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Collections is specific to Couchbase and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. JSON Documents is specific to Couchbase and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Couchbase and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. XDCR replications is specific to Couchbase and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Full-text search indexes is specific to Couchbase and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Buckets is specific to Couchbase and Custom Objects to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase and Gainsight

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.

Couchbase Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Couchbase are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations.

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

Gainsight Couchbase Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
