Why teams connect Gainsight and MariaDB

Mirror Gainsight's data into MariaDB 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 Gainsight 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 MariaDB.

Stacksync mirrors Task and Playbook, Custom Objects, Company, Person (People) from Gainsight into Databases (Schemas), Tables, Views, Columns in MariaDB 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 Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 03 Two-way sync between a MariaDB application database and a CRM so both systems hold the same customer records
  • 04 Replicate ERP or billing master data into MariaDB databases that power customer-facing applications

Common sync patterns

Read Gainsight with a query

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

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in MariaDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

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

What you can sync between Gainsight and MariaDB

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.

Gainsight objects MariaDB objects How this pairing syncs
Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Timeline Activity is specific to Gainsight and Databases (Schemas) to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Success Plan is specific to Gainsight and Tables to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Task and Playbook is specific to Gainsight and Views to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Custom Objects is specific to Gainsight and Columns to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Company is specific to Gainsight and Primary and Unique Keys to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. System-Versioned Tables Temporal tables that retain row history natively, useful for auditing synced changes. Person (People) is specific to Gainsight and System-Versioned Tables to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gainsight and MariaDB

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.

Gainsight MariaDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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

MariaDB Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
