Why teams connect Google Cloud SQL and Pigment

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from Google Cloud SQL: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Users and permissions, Applications, Metrics, Dimension lists from Pigment into Schemas, Tables, Rows, Views in Google Cloud SQL and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Google Cloud SQL, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • 02 Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
  • 03 Migrate from a self-managed database by syncing Cloud SQL and the legacy system during cutover.
  • 04 Keep an internal admin application backed by Cloud SQL consistent with an ERP or billing system.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Pigment live in Google Cloud SQL as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Google Cloud SQL; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Google Cloud SQL propagate into Pigment, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Google Cloud SQL and Pigment

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 SQL objects Pigment objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Mapped directly to sync targets; schema changes can be propagated. Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Schemas Namespace tables in PostgreSQL and SQL Server instances. Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Schemas is specific to Google Cloud SQL and Metrics to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Read and written by primary key during each sync cycle. Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by Rows is specific to Google Cloud SQL and Dimension lists to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only sources for shaping data before syncing it out. Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context Views is specific to Google Cloud SQL and Scenarios to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transaction logs MySQL binlog or PostgreSQL WAL, the source for log-based change capture. Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model Transaction logs is specific to Google Cloud SQL and Data imports to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Instances The managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server server a sync connects to. Users and permissions Access controls governing which model areas a sync can touch Instances is specific to Google Cloud SQL and Users and permissions to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Cloud SQL and Pigment

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 SQL Pigment Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud SQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Engine-dependent log-based CDC: MySQL binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server change tracking.

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

Pigment Google Cloud SQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pigment for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No change feed.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Cloud SQL: Constrained by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.
  • Pigment: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
