Why teams connect Couchbase and Sharepoint

Keep Couchbase and Sharepoint in step: a row in Couchbase for every file in Sharepoint, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in Couchbase says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Sharepoint holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs JSON Documents, Global Secondary Indexes, XDCR replications, Full-text search indexes in Couchbase with Site pages, Sites, Lists, List items in Sharepoint bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • 02 Two-way sync between Couchbase (serving application data) and a CRM so support and sales teams see live application state.
  • 03 Provision site and item permissions and sharing links from an IdP or access-management system so SharePoint access follows onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Stream list and library changes through delta query and change-notification webhooks into a warehouse for audit, access-review, and reporting.

Common sync patterns

A queryable index of the file store

Every file or object in Sharepoint shows up as a row in Couchbase, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in Couchbase write back to the matching file's metadata in Sharepoint, and metadata changed in Sharepoint updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.

Records that point at documents

Where a record in Couchbase references a file in Sharepoint, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

What you can sync between Couchbase and Sharepoint

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 Sharepoint objects How this pairing syncs
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Drive items (document libraries) Files and folders in a library's drive via /drives and /drive/root; upload, download, move, delete, and read per-item metadata, synced two-way with a store. Full-text search indexes is specific to Couchbase and Drive items (document libraries) to Sharepoint — 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. Columns and content types Field definitions and content types on a site or list; read the schema and create columns so database fields map cleanly onto SharePoint list fields. Buckets is specific to Couchbase and Columns and content types to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Permissions and sharing Role assignments and sharing links on sites, list items, and drive items; read and written to manage access, requiring Sites.Manage.All or Sites.FullControl.All scopes. Scopes is specific to Couchbase and Permissions and sharing to Sharepoint — 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. Site pages Modern site pages via /sites/{id}/pages; read page content, layout, and metadata for indexing and content governance. Collections is specific to Couchbase and Site pages to Sharepoint — 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. Sites SharePoint site collections and subsites via /sites; read site properties and discover the document libraries (drives) and lists each site contains, addressed by hostname and site path or site ID. JSON Documents is specific to Couchbase and Sites to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Lists Custom lists and libraries via /sites/{id}/lists; create and read lists along with their columns and content types so a target system can mirror or provision list definitions. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Couchbase and Lists to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase and Sharepoint

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

Sharepoint Couchbase Sub-second propagation

DetectionSharepoint notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last.

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.
  • Sharepoint: SharePoint Online throttles per app, returning HTTP 429 (or 503) with a Retry-After header in seconds and IETF RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset headers; throttled requests still count toward limits, so clients honor the greater of Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset with exponential backoff.

Sharepoint

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph REST API (graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 and beta) covering SharePoint sites, lists, list items, columns, content types, and document-library drives and drive items; plus the classic SharePoint REST API (_api/web) and CSOM. Supports Graph JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Selected, Sites.Manage.All, or Sites.FullControl.All, plus Files.ReadWrite.All for drive content; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last deltaLink; change-notification subscriptions (push webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications for list and drive/root changes to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire. Classic SharePoint list webhooks are also available.
