Why teams connect Hibob and Scaleway Postgres

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Scaleway Postgres 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. Scaleway Postgres is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Documents, Named lists, People (Employees), Employment in Hibob need to exist as queryable Columns, Tables, Views, Materialized views in Scaleway Postgres 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 Columns, Tables, Views, Materialized views in Scaleway Postgres with Documents, Named lists, People (Employees), Employment 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 Replicate the application database into a warehouse for analytics without writing custom pipelines
  • 02 Back internal tools with the same Postgres instance while Stacksync keeps it consistent with external systems
  • 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

Reporting and analytics on current data

Documents, Named lists, People (Employees), Employment replicate into Scaleway Postgres where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Hibob stay consistent in Scaleway Postgres, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

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

What you can sync between Hibob and Scaleway Postgres

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 Scaleway Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. Named lists is specific to Hibob and Columns to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Tables to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. Employment is specific to Hibob and Views to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. Work is specific to Hibob and Materialized views to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Schemas to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time off Absence requests and who's-out data via /timeoff/employees/{id}/requests and /timeoff/whosout; submit new requests and read balances. Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. Time off is specific to Hibob and Sequences to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Scaleway Postgres

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 Scaleway Postgres 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 Scaleway Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Scaleway Postgres Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Scaleway Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication where the managed instance permits it.

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.
  • Scaleway Postgres: Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.

How the Hibob and Scaleway Postgres 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).
