Why teams connect Dremio and Hibob

Land the people and organization records from Hibob in Dremio as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Hibob can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Hibob is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Dremio next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Work, Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle from Hibob into tables in Dremio continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Dremio, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Hibob where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from multiple lake sources through one Dremio semantic layer into a single warehouse target.
  • 02 Sync curated Dremio views into an operational Postgres so applications get low-latency access to lakehouse data.
  • 03 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.

Common sync patterns

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Dremio gives you a durable, queryable record of how Hibob's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Dremio sync back onto the matching records in Hibob, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

What you can sync between Dremio and Hibob

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.

Dremio objects Hibob objects How this pairing syncs
Sources Connected storage and database systems (S3, ADLS, relational databases) Dremio queries in place. Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Sources is specific to Dremio and Documents to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Physical datasets is specific to Dremio and Named lists to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. Virtual datasets (views) is specific to Dremio and People (Employees) to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Apache Iceberg tables Lakehouse tables supporting DML and snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Apache Iceberg tables is specific to Dremio and Employment to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Spaces and folders is specific to Dremio and Work to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Reflections is specific to Dremio and Salaries to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dremio and Hibob

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.

Dremio Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dremio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Hibob through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Hibob Dremio Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Dremio as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dremio: Bounded by engine capacity and workload management rather than API rate limits.
  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
