Why teams connect Google AlloyDB and Tableau

Give Tableau the users, events, and records that live in Google AlloyDB in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Tableau computes back into Google AlloyDB where your applications read them.

Tableau is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Google AlloyDB, so Google AlloyDB always reflects the current state of Tableau — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Tableau is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Google AlloyDB into Tableau usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Databases, Tables, and Fields from the Metadata API to populate a data catalog with Tableau lineage and column definitions.
  • 02 Mirror the Projects and Workbooks content hierarchy into an internal catalog so teams discover dashboards from a central index.
  • 03 Mirror CRM objects into AlloyDB tables so product and internal tools query customer data with plain SQL.
  • 04 Use logical replication to feed AlloyDB changes into warehouses or event pipelines without batch jobs.

Common sync patterns

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Tableau because they sync from Google AlloyDB as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

Where Tableau tracks product events: behavior onto stored records

Signup, usage, and lifecycle events captured in Tableau sync into Google AlloyDB as rows, so applications and internal tools can read behavioral data next to the records they already keep.

Where Tableau builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Tableau sync back into Google AlloyDB, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.

What you can sync between Google AlloyDB and Tableau

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 Tableau objects How this pairing syncs
Views Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Views Worksheets and dashboards inside workbooks; their data and crosstab export as CSV via the REST query-view-data endpoint. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in the writable direction.
Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Published Data Sources Published data sources (.tdsx); their underlying rows are read via the VizQL Data Service, and refresh state is tracked through content webhooks. Databases is specific to Google AlloyDB and Published Data Sources to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used to separate synced SaaS data from application tables. Workbooks Workbook content and metadata read via the REST and Metadata APIs; create, update, and delete events fire webhooks for change detection. Schemas is specific to Google AlloyDB and Workbooks to Tableau — 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. Projects Folders that organize content and set permissions; listed via REST to mirror the site's content hierarchy into a catalog. Tables is specific to Google AlloyDB and Projects to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. Users Site users with site roles and group membership; read via REST for access reviews and to reconcile identities against an HR or IdP source. Materialized Views is specific to Google AlloyDB and Users to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Databases and Tables External assets indexed by Tableau Catalog; queried via the Metadata API GraphQL endpoint for lineage and impact analysis. Indexes is specific to Google AlloyDB and Databases and Tables to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google AlloyDB and Tableau

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 Tableau 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.

DeliveryTableau does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Tableau's output flows back as field updates on the originating Google AlloyDB records.

Tableau Google AlloyDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionTableau notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh 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.
  • Tableau: Tableau Cloud enforces per-site REST rate limits and returns HTTP 429; a PAT allows only one concurrent session and expires after 15 consecutive days of non-use.
