Why teams connect Dun And Bradstreet and Postgres Heroku

Treat Dun And Bradstreet like part of your database: its records live in Postgres Heroku as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Dun And Bradstreet is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Postgres Heroku, so Postgres Heroku always reflects the current state of Dun And Bradstreet — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Postgres Heroku, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull D&B risk and credit signals (PAYDEX, Failure Score, D&B Rating) into a warehouse for credit-risk, vendor-risk, and third-party-risk analytics.
  • 02 Sync the D&B corporate family tree (parent and subsidiary DUNS) into the CRM so ABM and territory owners see full account hierarchies and roll pipeline up to the global ultimate.
  • 03 Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • 04 Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Dun And Bradstreet API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Dun And Bradstreet arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Dun And Bradstreet become tables in Postgres Heroku you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between Dun And Bradstreet and Postgres Heroku

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.

Dun And Bradstreet objects Postgres Heroku objects How this pairing syncs
Criteria Search Query companies by firmographic criteria (industry, geography, size) and get back a list of D-U-N-S Numbers to enrich; read-only list building. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. Criteria Search is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Primary and Unique Keys to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Monitoring Notifications Change notices for a registered portfolio of DUNS; read-only feed pulled from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days) or delivered as bundled push. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Monitoring Notifications is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and JSONB Columns to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Information (Data Block) Core firmographics for a D-U-N-S Number - legal name, addresses, industry codes, employees, sales, status. Retrieved read-only via the Enrich endpoint; blocks come in levels L1-L4. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Company Information (Data Block) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Sequences to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Principals & Contacts (Data Block) Company officers, executives, and contacts tied to a D-U-N-S Number; read-only enrichment used to populate CRM contact and account-owner fields. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Principals & Contacts (Data Block) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Follower Databases to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Hierarchy & Connections (Family Tree) Parent, subsidiary, branch, and global-ultimate DUNS relationships; read-only, used to build account hierarchies and corporate-family rollups. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. Company Hierarchy & Connections (Family Tree) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Tables to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Financial Strength & Risk Insight (Data Block) D&B risk and credit signals - D&B Rating, PAYDEX, Failure Score, Delinquency Score, Viability - keyed by D-U-N-S Number; read-only. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Financial Strength & Risk Insight (Data Block) is specific to Dun And Bradstreet and Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dun And Bradstreet and Postgres Heroku

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.

Dun And Bradstreet Postgres Heroku Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dun And Bradstreet for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via D&B Monitoring - register a portfolio of DUNS and pull change notices from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days).

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

Postgres Heroku Dun And Bradstreet Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.

DeliveryDun And Bradstreet does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Dun And Bradstreet's output flows back as field updates on the originating Postgres Heroku records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dun And Bradstreet: Per-contract transactions-per-second cap plus weekly/monthly/yearly quotas; exceeding TPS returns HTTP 429 with error 0045/0046 (0047 on spike arrest). Quotas reset on UTC boundaries.
  • Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.
