Why teams connect Hibob and YugabyteDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: YugabyteDB 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. YugabyteDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Time off, Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists in Hibob need to exist as queryable Sequences, CDC Streams, Databases and Keyspaces, Tables in YugabyteDB 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 Sequences, CDC Streams, Databases and Keyspaces, Tables in YugabyteDB with Time off, Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists 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 Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.
  • 02 Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.
  • 03 Push Salaries and Variable Pay from Bob into a payroll provider or warehouse each pay cycle, using the Payroll-permitted service user.
  • 04 Mirror Work data (department, site, manager, title) into an org-chart or reporting warehouse for headcount and structure analysis.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in YugabyteDB 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 Sequences, CDC Streams, Databases and Keyspaces, Tables in YugabyteDB, 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 YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Indexes to YugabyteDB — 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. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. Documents is specific to Hibob and Materialized Views to YugabyteDB — 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. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Named lists is specific to Hibob and Schemas to YugabyteDB — 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. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Sequences to YugabyteDB — 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. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. Employment is specific to Hibob and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — 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. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. Work is specific to Hibob and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and YugabyteDB

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

YugabyteDB Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

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.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.

How the Hibob and YugabyteDB 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).
