Why teams connect Hibob and Redis Enterprise

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Redis Enterprise and Hibob share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Hibob is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Redis Enterprise is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents in Hibob need to exist as queryable Lists, Streams, Pub/Sub channels, Search indexes in Redis Enterprise before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Lists, Streams, Pub/Sub channels, Search indexes in Redis Enterprise with Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents in Hibob field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Hibob typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Publish record-change events into Redis Streams so microservices react to upstream CRM updates without polling.
  • 02 Hydrate session stores and feature stores from a warehouse or operational database on a schedule.
  • 03 Mirror Work data (department, site, manager, title) into an org-chart or reporting warehouse for headcount and structure analysis.
  • 04 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Redis Enterprise write onto the matching record in Hibob where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Hibob land as queryable Lists, Streams, Pub/Sub channels, Search indexes in Redis Enterprise, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

What you can sync between Hibob and Redis Enterprise

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.

Hibob objects Redis Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Lists Ordered sequences often used as lightweight queues fed by sync events. Documents is specific to Hibob and Lists to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Streams Append-only logs with consumer groups, used to fan sync events out to downstream services. Named lists is specific to Hibob and Streams to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. Pub/Sub channels Fire-and-forget messaging used to notify applications when synced keys change. People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Pub/Sub channels to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Search indexes Secondary indexes (RediSearch) that make synced hashes and JSON documents queryable. Employment is specific to Hibob and Search indexes to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Keys (Strings) Simple key-value pairs used to cache individual synced records or lookup values. Work is specific to Hibob and Keys (Strings) to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Hashes Field-value maps that commonly hold one synced row per hash, keyed by record ID. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Hashes to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Redis Enterprise

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.

Hibob Redis Enterprise Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

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

Redis Enterprise Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Redis Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
  • Redis Enterprise: Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits.

How the Hibob and Redis Enterprise connectors work

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
Capabilities

Rate limits
Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.

Redis Enterprise
