Why teams connect Google AlloyDB and Ironclad

Mirror Ironclad's data into Google AlloyDB 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 Ironclad 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 Google AlloyDB.

Stacksync mirrors Workflow Documents, Workflows, Records, Entities from Ironclad into Schemas, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Google AlloyDB 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 Ironclad, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull executed contract PDFs from Records attachments into a document store or archive as each workflow completes.
  • 02 Two-way sync Ironclad Records with a warehouse or ERP so executed-contract value, counterparty, renewal dates, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 03 Migrate workloads from self-managed Postgres while keeping existing syncs pointed at a compatible endpoint.
  • 04 Mirror CRM objects into AlloyDB tables so product and internal tools query customer data with plain SQL.

Common sync patterns

Read Ironclad with a query

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

Automate Ironclad from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Google AlloyDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Ironclad, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Ironclad arrive as row changes in Google AlloyDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Google AlloyDB and Ironclad

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 Ironclad objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. Signature Packets The e-signature packets on a workflow (sent, signatures collected, fully signed); read to track signing progress, with packet events delivered by webhook for real-time status. Materialized Views is specific to Google AlloyDB and Signature Packets to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Indexes is specific to Google AlloyDB and Workflow Documents to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Workflows The core unit of Ironclad: a live contract process (NDA, MSA, order form) moving through creation, review, approval, and signature. Launched via POST, updated via PATCH, and read for status, so contract processes move two-way between Ironclad and a database, CRM, or ERP. Sequences is specific to Google AlloyDB and Workflows to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Replication Slots Logical replication artifacts that back log-based change capture. Records The Repository of executed and stored contracts with metadata (value, counterparty, key dates, type) and attachments; full create, read, update, and delete so signed-contract data and PDFs sync to a warehouse, ERP, or CRM. Replication Slots is specific to Google AlloyDB and Records to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Entities Structured records for counterparties and other parties linked to workflows and records; read and written to keep company and vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Databases is specific to Google AlloyDB and Entities to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used to separate synced SaaS data from application tables. Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Schemas is specific to Google AlloyDB and Obligations to Ironclad — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google AlloyDB and Ironclad

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 Ironclad 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 Ironclad through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ironclad Google AlloyDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionIronclad notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing.

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.
  • Ironclad: Limits are enforced per account per minute by endpoint: GET Workflows 400 and POST/PATCH Workflows 40; GET Records 600 and POST/PATCH Records 200; GET Entities 600 and POST/PATCH Entities 200; Webhooks 600; all other endpoints 800. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429, and Ironclad recommends exponential backoff with jitter.

Authentication
OAuth 2.0 - Authorization Code grant (PKCE for public clients) and Client Credentials grant for server-to-server; access tokens are Bearer, expire after 6 hours, and every endpoint is gated by a resource scope. The legacy static API bearer token was deprecated on 2024-11-22.
Change detection
Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing endpoint up to 10 times over about 13.6 hours with exponential backoff. Otherwise poll the list endpoints by last-updated. There is no database change-data-capture log.
