Why teams connect DuckDB and Egnyte

Keep DuckDB and Egnyte in step: a row in DuckDB for every file in Egnyte, 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 DuckDB says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Egnyte 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 Views, External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON), Attached databases, Database files in DuckDB with Links, Metadata, Events and Audit reports, Files in Egnyte 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 Sync SaaS data to Parquet on object storage and query it with DuckDB without standing up a warehouse.
  • 02 Push aggregates computed in DuckDB out to a CRM or business tools so analysis results reach operational systems.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Egnyte and an operational database or another content store, keeping the folder hierarchy aligned.
  • 04 Write custom Metadata such as classification tags and project fields onto Files and Folders from a governance or DMS system, and read it back for reporting.

Common sync patterns

File metadata kept in step

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

Records that point at documents

Where a record in DuckDB references a file in Egnyte, 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.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Egnyte become rows in DuckDB as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

What you can sync between DuckDB and Egnyte

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.

DuckDB objects Egnyte objects How this pairing syncs
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Users Accounts managed via the Users API; provisioned, updated, and deactivated in sync with an HRIS or identity provider. Attached databases is specific to DuckDB and Users to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Database files is specific to DuckDB and Groups to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. Schemas is specific to DuckDB and Permissions to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Links Shared file and folder links created, listed, and revoked via the Links API; useful for governing and auditing external sharing. Tables is specific to DuckDB and Links to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Metadata Custom metadata keys and project fields on files/folders via the Metadata API; written for classification and read back for reporting. Views is specific to DuckDB and Metadata to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. Events and Audit reports File, login, permission, and sharing activity read via the Events API and Audit Reporting API; consumed read-only for compliance. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) is specific to DuckDB and Events and Audit reports to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DuckDB and Egnyte

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.

DuckDB Egnyte Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls DuckDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling or full re-reads.

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

Egnyte DuckDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionEgnyte notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API polled with an incremental cursor (Egnyte recommends an interval of 5 minutes or more), or Webhooks push notifications for fs, metadata,.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • DuckDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O.
  • Egnyte: Auto-generated keys default to 2 requests/second and 1,000 requests/day, enforced per access token; monitor X-Accesstoken-Qps-Current/Allotted and X-Accesstoken-Quota-Current headers; higher limits on request.
