Why teams connect Hibob and VoltDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: VoltDB 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. VoltDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: People (Employees), Employment, Work, Salaries in Hibob need to exist as queryable Replicated Tables, Stored Procedures, Materialized Views, Streams in VoltDB 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 Replicated Tables, Stored Procedures, Materialized Views, Streams in VoltDB with People (Employees), Employment, Work, Salaries 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 Sync customer or account reference data from a CRM into VoltDB replicated tables for in-transaction lookups such as fraud or policy checks.
  • 02 Stream committed VoltDB results out through export targets into a warehouse for historical analysis.
  • 03 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.

Common sync patterns

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.

Reporting and analytics on current data

People (Employees), Employment, Work, Salaries replicate into VoltDB 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 VoltDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between Hibob and VoltDB

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 VoltDB objects How this pairing syncs
Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources. Work is specific to Hibob and Materialized Views to VoltDB — 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. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Streams to VoltDB — 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. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks. Time off is specific to Hibob and Export Targets and Topics to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target. Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Partitioned Tables to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data. Documents is specific to Hibob and Replicated Tables to VoltDB — 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. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface. Named lists is specific to Hibob and Stored Procedures to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and VoltDB

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

VoltDB Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls VoltDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Export streams and topics push committed changes to configured targets.

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.
  • VoltDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by partition count and cluster sizing.

How the Hibob and VoltDB 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).
