Why teams connect IBM Informix and Redis Enterprise

Keep IBM Informix and Redis Enterprise synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between IBM Informix and Redis Enterprise continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • 02 Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • 03 Write counters and leaderboard state from sorted sets back to an operational database for durable reporting.
  • 04 Cache CRM or ERP records into Redis hashes so applications read customer data with sub-millisecond in-memory latency instead of hitting SaaS APIs.

Common sync patterns

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both IBM Informix and Redis Enterprise, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between IBM Informix 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.

IBM Informix objects Redis Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Sorted Sets Score-ordered collections used for rankings, priority queues, and time-ordered indexes. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Sorted Sets to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Lists Ordered sequences often used as lightweight queues fed by sync events. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Lists to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Streams Append-only logs with consumer groups, used to fan sync events out to downstream services. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Streams to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Pub/Sub channels Fire-and-forget messaging used to notify applications when synced keys change. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Pub/Sub channels to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Search indexes Secondary indexes (RediSearch) that make synced hashes and JSON documents queryable. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Search indexes to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Keys (Strings) Simple key-value pairs used to cache individual synced records or lookup values. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Keys (Strings) to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix 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.

IBM Informix Redis Enterprise Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

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

Redis Enterprise IBM Informix 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 applied to IBM Informix as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
  • Redis Enterprise: Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits.
