Why teams connect DuckDB and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into DuckDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in DuckDB.

Stacksync mirrors Problems, Changes, Users, Assets from Sysaid into Attached databases, Database files, Schemas, Tables in DuckDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 02 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 03 Push aggregates computed in DuckDB out to a CRM or business tools so analysis results reach operational systems.
  • 04 Use DuckDB as a transform step: read synced Parquet exports, aggregate with SQL, and write results back to an operational database.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Sysaid arrive as row changes in DuckDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Sysaid with a query

Records from Sysaid are ordinary rows in DuckDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between DuckDB and Sysaid

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 Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Schemas is specific to DuckDB and Changes to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Tables is specific to DuckDB and Users to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Views is specific to DuckDB and Assets to Sysaid — 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. Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) is specific to DuckDB and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — 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. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Attached databases is specific to DuckDB and Companies to Sysaid — 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. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Database files is specific to DuckDB and Custom Fields to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DuckDB and Sysaid

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

Sysaid DuckDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the DuckDB and Sysaid connectors work

DuckDB

Integration surface
In-process SQL engine via client libraries (Python, Node.js, JDBC, CLI); no server or network API by default
Authentication
None built in; access control is file-system level (MotherDuck adds token auth for its hosted service)
Change detection
Polling or full re-reads; no change feed or transaction log API
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
Capabilities

Rate limits
Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.
