Why teams connect Couchbase and Pendo

Give Pendo the users, events, and records that live in Couchbase in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Pendo computes back into Couchbase where your applications read them.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Pendo is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Couchbase into Pendo usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Stacksync syncs Full-text search indexes, Buckets, Scopes, Collections in Couchbase with Guide Events, Poll / NPS Responses, Features / Pages / Guides (metadata), Visitors in Pendo in real time and in both directions. Operational rows flow into Pendo as they change, so dashboards read current data with no pipeline to maintain, and the segments, cohorts, or scores Pendo computes flow back into Couchbase, where the applications and services that read from it get them at normal query latency. Field-level mapping, schema and type translation, and conflict resolution are handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export feature, page, and guide Events out of Pendo over event-time windows into Postgres or a warehouse so product usage joins with CRM, billing, and support data in SQL.
  • 02 Pull NPS scores and poll responses into a database so voice-of-customer sits next to revenue, renewal, and churn signals for analysis.
  • 03 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • 04 Two-way sync between Couchbase (serving application data) and a CRM so support and sales teams see live application state.

Common sync patterns

Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline

The users, events, orders, and records stored in Couchbase land in Pendo as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

One version of each user or account

A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Pendo because they sync from Couchbase as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

What you can sync between Couchbase and Pendo

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 Pendo objects How this pairing syncs
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. Scopes is specific to Couchbase and Visitors to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Collections is specific to Couchbase and Accounts to Pendo — 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. Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. JSON Documents is specific to Couchbase and Feature Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Couchbase and Page Events to Pendo — 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. Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. XDCR replications is specific to Couchbase and Guide Events to Pendo — 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. Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Full-text search indexes is specific to Couchbase and Poll / NPS Responses to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase and Pendo

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

Pendo Couchbase Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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.
  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.

How the Couchbase and Pendo 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

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
Capabilities

Rate limits
Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.
