Why teams connect Google Cloud Spanner and Jms

Keep Google Cloud Spanner and Jms in step: the rows in your database and the BytesMessage, Durable Subscription, Message headers and properties, Dead Letter Queue your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Google Cloud Spanner is where your application's durable data lives; Jms is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Change streams, Views, Databases, Tables in Google Cloud Spanner with BytesMessage, Durable Subscription, Message headers and properties, Dead Letter Queue in Jms field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.
  • 02 Run a two-way sync between Spanner and a SaaS tool so edits made by ops teams land back in the application database.
  • 03 Bridge a legacy IBM MQ or ActiveMQ Queue to a SaaS system of record by consuming each message and writing the record through the SaaS API.
  • 04 Fan out inventory or pricing updates onto a Topic with durable subscriptions so multiple services stay aligned even after downtime.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Jms arrive as row changes in Google Cloud Spanner, and writes to Google Cloud Spanner propagate to Jms within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Jms manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Jms stay matched to the users or owners table in Google Cloud Spanner, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Google Cloud Spanner creates or updates the matching record in Jms, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between Google Cloud Spanner and Jms

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 Cloud Spanner objects Jms objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. Message headers and properties JMSCorrelationID, JMSReplyTo, JMSTimestamp, JMSType plus JMSX/application-defined properties; used for correlation, routing, and selector-based filtering. Tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Message headers and properties to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. Dead Letter Queue Provider-managed destination (e.g. ActiveMQ.DLQ, IBM MQ dead-letter queue) where messages exceeding redelivery limits land; read to reconcile failed deliveries. Rows is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Dead Letter Queue to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. Queue Point-to-point destination where each message is delivered to exactly one consumer. Stacksync consumes messages to load into a database, or publishes messages for a downstream Java service to process. Interleaved tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Queue to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns. Topic Publish/subscribe destination that fans each message out to every active subscriber. Stacksync subscribes to event streams or publishes records so multiple services react. Secondary indexes is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Topic to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. TextMessage Most common body type, carrying a String that is usually JSON or XML. Deserialized into rows/records on read and serialized from source records on write. Change streams is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and TextMessage to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. MapMessage Body of typed name/value pairs that maps directly onto record fields, so no custom body parsing is needed on read or write. Views is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and MapMessage to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Cloud Spanner and Jms

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 Cloud Spanner Jms Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud Spanner are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Jms through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Jms Google Cloud Spanner Sub-second propagation

DetectionJms notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Asynchronous push — the broker delivers messages to registered consumers (MessageListener.onMessage) in real time, with no polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Google Cloud Spanner as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Cloud Spanner: Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
  • Jms: JMS defines no protocol-level rate limits; throughput ceilings, consumer prefetch, and producer flow control are configured on the broker (ActiveMQ, IBM MQ, Solace, TIBCO EMS, etc.).

Jms

Integration surface
JMS / Jakarta Messaging API (classic API and simplified JMSContext) over provider transports such as OpenWire, AMQP, IBM MQ, or STOMP
Authentication
Username/password credentials passed to ConnectionFactory.createConnection(); ConnectionFactory and Destinations resolved via JNDI. Transport security (TLS) and stronger auth (SASL, JAAS, client certificates) are broker-implementation-specific.
Change detection
Asynchronous push — the broker delivers messages to registered consumers (MessageListener.onMessage) in real time, with no polling. Message selectors (an SQL-92 subset over headers/properties) filter delivery. There is no modified-date polling or CDC replay, and queue consumption is destructive.
Capabilities

Rate limits
JMS defines no protocol-level rate limits; throughput ceilings, consumer prefetch, and producer flow control are configured on the broker (ActiveMQ, IBM MQ, Solace, TIBCO EMS, etc.).
