Why teams connect Google AlloyDB and TimescaleDB

Keep Google AlloyDB and TimescaleDB 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 TimescaleDB 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 Mirror CRM objects into AlloyDB tables so product and internal tools query customer data with plain SQL.
  • 02 Use logical replication to feed AlloyDB changes into warehouses or event pipelines without batch jobs.
  • 03 Sync product or IoT telemetry stored in TimescaleDB into a CRM so account teams see usage metrics next to the customer record.
  • 04 Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.

Common sync patterns

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Google AlloyDB and TimescaleDB, 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 TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces used to separate synced SaaS data from application tables. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Materialized Views Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. Materialized Views is specific to Google AlloyDB and Chunks to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Indexes is specific to Google AlloyDB and Continuous Aggregates to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Sequences is specific to Google AlloyDB and Regular PostgreSQL Tables to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Replication Slots Logical replication artifacts that back log-based change capture. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. Replication Slots is specific to Google AlloyDB and Hypertables to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google AlloyDB and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB 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 applied to TimescaleDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

TimescaleDB Google AlloyDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.

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.
  • TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
