Why teams connect DuckDB and SingleStore

Keep DuckDB and SingleStore synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between DuckDB and SingleStore continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

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 Feed synced operational data into applications that need low-latency responses over fresh data.
  • 04 Mirror CRM and SaaS objects into SingleStore tables to serve low-latency operational dashboards.

Common sync patterns

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both DuckDB and SingleStore, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between DuckDB and SingleStore

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 SingleStore objects How this pairing syncs
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Stored Procedures Existing logic sometimes invoked on write paths. Tables is specific to DuckDB and Stored Procedures to SingleStore — 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. Indexes and Shard Keys Determine data distribution and lookup speed for sync match keys. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) is specific to DuckDB and Indexes and Shard Keys to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Databases The connection target containing the tables a sync addresses. Attached databases is specific to DuckDB and Databases to SingleStore — 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. Tables (rowstore and columnstore) Primary read/write target; storage type affects whether a table suits point lookups or scans. Database files is specific to DuckDB and Tables (rowstore and columnstore) to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Reference Tables Small tables replicated to every node, often used for dimension data in syncs. Schemas is specific to DuckDB and Reference Tables to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DuckDB and SingleStore

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 SingleStore 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 applied to SingleStore as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SingleStore DuckDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SingleStore for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or watermark columns.

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.
  • SingleStore: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by workspace or cluster size.
