Why teams connect Google AlloyDB and Pinecone

Sync the records in Google AlloyDB into Pinecone and land its embeddings, classifications, and generated fields back on the same rows, in real time and without a pipeline to maintain.

AI systems do not hold customers or invoices the way business apps do. What they hold is derived from your data: the vectors and metadata in a vector store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was given. Google AlloyDB is where those source records actually live. The bridge between the two is the row itself, since an item in Pinecone and the record in Google AlloyDB it describes are two halves of the same thing, and they drift the moment one is updated without the other.

Stacksync syncs Sequences, Replication Slots, Databases, Schemas in Google AlloyDB with Namespaces, Collections, Backups, Index statistics in Pinecone in real time. Rows created or changed in Google AlloyDB flow into Pinecone so inference and embedding run on current data, and the scores, labels, and generated fields Pinecone produces flow back onto the matching rows in Google AlloyDB, mapped field by field. A change on either side appears on the other within seconds, with no extraction job or webhook plumbing to keep alive.

Because matching is by a stable identifier, every row in Google AlloyDB stays tied to its AI-side counterpart in Pinecone. Retrieval, enrichment, and generated content always resolve back to the record they came from, so there are no orphaned vectors and no labels describing a version of a row that no longer exists.

Common use cases

  • 01 Migrate or clone vectors between Pinecone indexes, projects, or namespaces - or from another vector store into Pinecone - using batched upserts.
  • 02 Back up a namespace by exporting its vector ids, values, and metadata to object storage or a database on a schedule using the list and fetch operations.
  • 03 Use logical replication to feed AlloyDB changes into warehouses or event pipelines without batch jobs.
  • 04 Consolidate SaaS data into AlloyDB and serve analytics from its columnar engine without a separate OLAP store.

Common sync patterns

Write results back onto the record

Scores, labels, extracted fields, or generated text produced in Pinecone land on the matching row in Google AlloyDB, next to the source data your applications already query.

Keep derived data fresh as sources change

When a row in Google AlloyDB is updated or removed, its counterpart in Pinecone is updated or removed too, so nothing in Pinecone describes a record that has since changed or gone.

Backfill once, then stay in step

Load your existing rows from Google AlloyDB into Pinecone to build the index or enrichment set, then let ongoing changes sync automatically instead of re-running the whole job.

What you can sync between Google AlloyDB and Pinecone

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 Pinecone objects How this pairing syncs
Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Indexes Serverless or pod-based containers holding vectors of a fixed dimension and distance metric (cosine, dotproduct, euclidean); managed on the control plane (api.pinecone.io) via create, list, describe, configure, and delete. describe_index returns the per-index data-plane host. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Collections Immutable snapshots of a pod-based index that store its data but not its definition; created, listed, and deleted on the control plane and used to recreate a pod-based index. Serverless indexes use Backups instead. Databases is specific to Google AlloyDB and Collections to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used to separate synced SaaS data from application tables. Backups Point-in-time snapshots of a serverless index; created, listed, and restored into a new index on the control plane for recovery or cloning. Read as a recovery-asset inventory. Schemas is specific to Google AlloyDB and Backups to Pinecone — 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. Index statistics Describe_index_stats returns total and per-namespace vector counts, the index dimension, and index fullness; read to size a sync and to detect drift between Pinecone and the source of truth. Tables is specific to Google AlloyDB and Index statistics to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Vectors (records) The core data: an id (up to 512 chars), a dense values array, optional sparse_values, and JSON metadata (up to 40 KB filterable per record). Full CRUD on the data plane via upsert, update, fetch, query, and delete, so write is supported here. Views is specific to Google AlloyDB and Vectors (records) to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. Namespaces Partitions inside an index; every read and write targets one namespace and vectors across namespaces are isolated. Enumerated with list_namespaces and sized per namespace via describe_index_stats. Materialized Views is specific to Google AlloyDB and Namespaces to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google AlloyDB and Pinecone

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

Pinecone Google AlloyDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pinecone for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks and no native change-data-capture 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.
  • Pinecone: Data-plane operations are capped per second: query, upsert, update, and delete at 100 req/s per namespace, fetch at 100 req/s per index, and list at 200 req/s per index; breaches return HTTP 429. Hard request limits also apply: an upsert is max 2 MB or 1000 records, metadata max 40 KB per record, and query top_k up to 10,000 with a 4 MB result cap.

Pinecone

Integration surface
Two HTTP APIs: a control plane at api.pinecone.io (manage indexes, collections, backups, and, via the Admin API, projects and API keys) and a per-index data plane at the host returned by describe_index (upsert, query, fetch, update, delete, list). A gRPC data-plane transport is available through the official SDKs.
Authentication
API key in the Api-Key request header, scoped to one project; every request also sends an X-Pinecone-Api-Version header (date-based, e.g. 2025-10). The organization Admin API instead uses OAuth2 client-credentials (service accounts) via login.pinecone.io/oauth/token, passing a Bearer token to api.pinecone.io/admin (Enterprise).
Change detection
No webhooks and no native change-data-capture feed. Vectors carry no server-side update timestamp, so Stacksync detects changes by re-reading - paginating vector ids with the list operation (serverless indexes) and fetching by id, or by re-upserting from the source of truth. describe_index_stats bounds a resync with per-namespace counts.
Capabilities

Data-plane operations are capped per second: query, upsert, update, and delete at 100 req/s per namespace, fetch at 100 req/s per index, and list at 200 req/s per index; breaches return HTTP 429.
