Why teams connect Google AlloyDB and Hibob

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Google AlloyDB and Hibob share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Hibob is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Google AlloyDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Time off, Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists in Hibob need to exist as queryable Replication Slots, Databases, Schemas, Tables in Google AlloyDB before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Replication Slots, Databases, Schemas, Tables in Google AlloyDB with Time off, Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists in Hibob field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Hibob typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Migrate workloads from self-managed Postgres while keeping existing syncs pointed at a compatible endpoint.
  • 02 Mirror CRM objects into AlloyDB tables so product and internal tools query customer data with plain SQL.
  • 03 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

Time off, Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists replicate into Google AlloyDB where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Hibob stay consistent in Google AlloyDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Google AlloyDB write onto the matching record in Hibob where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

What you can sync between Google AlloyDB and Hibob

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.

Google AlloyDB objects Hibob objects How this pairing syncs
Replication Slots Logical replication artifacts that back log-based change capture. Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Replication Slots is specific to Google AlloyDB and Salaries to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Time off Absence requests and who's-out data via /timeoff/employees/{id}/requests and /timeoff/whosout; submit new requests and read balances. Databases is specific to Google AlloyDB and Time off to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used to separate synced SaaS data from application tables. Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Schemas is specific to Google AlloyDB and Lifecycle to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Primary read/write target for bi-directional sync with CRMs and other systems. Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Tables is specific to Google AlloyDB and Documents to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Views is specific to Google AlloyDB and Named lists to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. Materialized Views is specific to Google AlloyDB and People (Employees) to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google AlloyDB and Hibob

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.

Google AlloyDB Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google AlloyDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication.

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

Hibob Google AlloyDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google AlloyDB: No API-style rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance size.
  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.

Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
