Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Tinybird

Connect IBM Db2 and Tinybird with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM Db2's rows in Tinybird, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in IBM Db2 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in IBM Db2 sync into Tinybird in real time, and result tables in Tinybird sync back into IBM Db2, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Compute aggregates in Tinybird and write the results back to CRM fields for scoring and routing.
  • 02 Stream CRM activity such as deals and tickets into Tinybird Data Sources to power customer-facing dashboards.
  • 03 Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • 04 Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.

Common sync patterns

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Tinybird and keep IBM Db2 focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from IBM Db2 land in Tinybird as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Tinybird sync into IBM Db2, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 and Tinybird

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.

IBM Db2 objects Tinybird objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. Schemas is specific to IBM Db2 and Data Sources to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. Tables is specific to IBM Db2 and Pipes to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. Views is specific to IBM Db2 and API Endpoints to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. Indexes is specific to IBM Db2 and Materialized Views to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. Stored Procedures is specific to IBM Db2 and Workspaces to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. Sequences is specific to IBM Db2 and Tokens to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Db2 and Tinybird

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.

IBM Db2 Tinybird Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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

Tinybird IBM Db2 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
  • Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.
