Why teams connect Google AlloyDB and OpenSearch

Keep Google AlloyDB and OpenSearch synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Google AlloyDB and OpenSearch continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Use logical replication to feed AlloyDB changes into warehouses or event pipelines without batch jobs.
  • 02 Consolidate SaaS data into AlloyDB and serve analytics from its columnar engine without a separate OLAP store.
  • 03 Index support tickets and activity logs from SaaS tools for operational dashboards.
  • 04 Backfill or rebuild indexes from a database after mapping changes without hand-written ETL.

Common sync patterns

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Google AlloyDB and OpenSearch, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Google AlloyDB and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch objects How this pairing syncs
Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries Sequences is specific to Google AlloyDB and Documents to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Replication Slots Logical replication artifacts that back log-based change capture. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills Replication Slots is specific to Google AlloyDB and Index aliases to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Databases is specific to Google AlloyDB and Index templates to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used to separate synced SaaS data from application tables. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Schemas is specific to Google AlloyDB and Ingest pipelines to OpenSearch — 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. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Tables is specific to Google AlloyDB and Data streams to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google AlloyDB and OpenSearch

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

OpenSearch Google AlloyDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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.
  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.
