Why teams connect Google Cloud Spanner and Newrelic

Keep Google Cloud Spanner and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads, Synthetics Monitors your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Google Cloud Spanner is where your application's durable data lives; Newrelic 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 Tables, Rows, Interleaved tables, Secondary indexes in Google Cloud Spanner with NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads, Synthetics Monitors in Newrelic 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 Record deployment and change markers from CI/CD through NerdGraph change tracking to correlate releases with performance and error-rate shifts.
  • 04 Sync the Entity catalog into a CMDB or warehouse for asset inventory, and add or replace entity Tags to keep ownership and environment metadata current.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

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

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Newrelic 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 Newrelic, 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 Newrelic

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 Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. Synthetics Monitors Synthetic uptime and scripted browser checks managed through NerdGraph synthetics mutations (create, update, delete); monitor results are read via NRQL for availability and latency reporting. Change streams is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. Custom Events Custom events posted write-only to the Event API on insights-collector with a License/Ingest key; business or pipeline events pushed into New Relic to enrich dashboards, then queried back out with NRQL. Views is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. Change Tracking (Deployments) Deployment and change markers recorded through NerdGraph changeTrackingCreateDeployment; written from CI/CD to annotate charts, and read back via NRQL on the Deployment event for release correlation. Databases is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via NerdGraph dashboardCreate/dashboardUpdate/dashboardDelete mutations and entity queries, with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit or provisioned and updated programmatically from a source of truth. Tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Dashboards to Newrelic — 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. Alert Policies & Conditions Alert policies and NRQL alert conditions managed through NerdGraph alertsPolicy and alertsNrqlCondition mutations with full create, update, and delete; read out for audit or provisioned from a config source so alerting stays consistent across accounts. Rows is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — 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. NRQL Query Results Telemetry events, metrics, logs, and spans queried through NerdGraph's nrql field (or the legacy Insights query API) over time windows; read-only and bounded by data retention, commonly streamed into a warehouse for long-term analysis. Interleaved tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Cloud Spanner and Newrelic

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

Newrelic Google Cloud Spanner Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

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.
  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.

Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
