Why teams connect Couchbase and OpenSearch

Keep Couchbase 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 Couchbase 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

  • Two-way sync between Couchbase (serving application data) and a CRM so support and sales teams see live application state.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple Couchbase clusters into a single analytical store.
  • Index support tickets and activity logs from SaaS tools for operational dashboards.
  • Backfill or rebuild indexes from a database after mapping changes without hand-written ETL.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Couchbase and OpenSearch, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between Couchbase 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.

Couchbase objects OpenSearch objects
XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates
Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems
Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository
JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Couchbase or OpenSearch record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Couchbase ⇄ OpenSearch sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Couchbase and OpenSearch.

How the Couchbase and OpenSearch connectors work

Couchbase

Integration surface
SQL++ (N1QL) query service, key-value SDK APIs, and REST management APIs
Authentication
Database credentials with role-based access control, typically over TLS
Change detection
Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations; SQL++ polling on document fields as an alternative
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits

OpenSearch

Integration surface
REST API over HTTP(S) with JSON payloads
Authentication
basic authentication with the security plugin, or AWS IAM request signing on Amazon OpenSearch Service
Change detection
no native change feed; reads rely on queries with scroll or point-in-time polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas
How it works

How to connect Couchbase to OpenSearch — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Couchbase and OpenSearch with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
