Why teams connect Firebolt and InterSystems IRIS

Connect InterSystems IRIS and Firebolt with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want InterSystems IRIS's rows in Firebolt, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in InterSystems IRIS where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in InterSystems IRIS sync into Firebolt in real time, and result tables in Firebolt sync back into InterSystems IRIS, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync aggregated results from Firebolt back to operational tools that need computed metrics (reverse ETL).
  • 02 Sync CRM objects into Firebolt so customer-facing dashboards reflect recent pipeline changes.
  • 03 Keep reference data consistent between an IRIS-based clinical or financial application and downstream SaaS tools
  • 04 Write enriched or corrected records from SaaS apps back into IRIS tables for on-platform processing

Common sync patterns

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Firebolt and keep InterSystems IRIS focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from InterSystems IRIS land in Firebolt as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between Firebolt and InterSystems IRIS

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.

Firebolt objects InterSystems IRIS objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. Engines is specific to Firebolt and Namespaces to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Databases is specific to Firebolt and Stored Procedures to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. External tables is specific to Firebolt and Schemas to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Aggregating indexes is specific to Firebolt and Persistent Classes to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebolt and InterSystems IRIS

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.

Firebolt InterSystems IRIS Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebolt for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebolt: No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload.
  • InterSystems IRIS: Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits.
