Why teams connect Couchbase and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Couchbase and Ukg Ready share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Ready is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Couchbase is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Global Secondary Indexes, XDCR replications, Full-text search indexes, Buckets in Couchbase before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Global Secondary Indexes, XDCR replications, Full-text search indexes, Buckets in Couchbase with Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Couchbase JSON documents into Postgres or a warehouse where analysts work with flattened relational tables.
  • 02 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • 03 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.
  • 04 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation replicate into Couchbase where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Ready stay consistent in Couchbase, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Couchbase write onto the matching record in Ukg Ready where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

What you can sync between Couchbase and Ukg Ready

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 Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Full-text search indexes is specific to Couchbase and Benefits to Ukg Ready — 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. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Buckets is specific to Couchbase and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Scopes is specific to Couchbase and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — 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. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Collections is specific to Couchbase and Employees to Ukg Ready — 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. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. JSON Documents is specific to Couchbase and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Couchbase and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase and Ukg Ready

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

Ukg Ready Couchbase Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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.
  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
