Why teams connect Egnyte and TiDB

Keep TiDB and Egnyte in step: a row in TiDB 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 TiDB 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 Tables, Views, Columns, Indexes in TiDB with Permissions, Links, Metadata, Events and Audit reports 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 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 02 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • 03 Mirror folder Permissions from a directory or access-management system so entitlements stay consistent across teams.
  • 04 Stream Egnyte audit Events (file, login, permission, and Link changes) into a warehouse or SIEM for compliance and governance reporting.

Common sync patterns

Records that point at documents

Where a record in TiDB 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 TiDB as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

Continuous archival to file storage

Rows from TiDB are written out to Egnyte as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.

What you can sync between Egnyte and TiDB

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.

Egnyte objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Events and Audit reports File, login, permission, and sharing activity read via the Events API and Audit Reporting API; consumed read-only for compliance. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Events and Audit reports is specific to Egnyte and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files File content managed via the fs-content endpoint (upload/download, chunked for large files); synced two-way with other stores. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Files is specific to Egnyte and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Folder hierarchy managed via the fs endpoint (create, move, rename, delete); the tree structure is mirrored during sync. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Folders is specific to Egnyte and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Accounts managed via the Users API; provisioned, updated, and deactivated in sync with an HRIS or identity provider. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Users is specific to Egnyte and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Groups is specific to Egnyte and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Permissions is specific to Egnyte and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Egnyte and TiDB

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.

Egnyte TiDB 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 TiDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

TiDB Egnyte Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
