Why teams connect Couchbase and Ramp

Work with Ramp's financial data straight from Couchbase: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Cards, Users, Departments, Reimbursements from Ramp into JSON Documents, Global Secondary Indexes, XDCR replications, Full-text search indexes in Couchbase and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Couchbase, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Ramp with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 02 Mirror Bills and their approval and payment state into an AP or ERP system, marking each one ready-to-sync then synced to keep both ledgers reconciled.
  • 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

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Couchbase propagate into Ramp, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Ramp appear in Couchbase as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Ramp live in Couchbase as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Couchbase and Ramp

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 Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Couchbase and General Ledger Accounts to Ramp — 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. Transactions Card purchase records with merchant, amount, and state; read for spend/GL sync and written back via accounting codings and sync status. XDCR replications is specific to Couchbase and Transactions to Ramp — 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. Cards Physical and virtual card records; created and managed through the API to provision or suspend cardholder spend. Full-text search indexes is specific to Couchbase and Cards to Ramp — 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. Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Buckets is specific to Couchbase and Users to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Scopes is specific to Couchbase and Departments to Ramp — 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. Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Collections is specific to Couchbase and Reimbursements to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase and Ramp

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

Ramp Couchbase Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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.
  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.

Ramp

Integration surface
REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).
Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
