Why teams connect IBM Informix and Vitally

Treat Vitally like part of your database: its records live in IBM Informix as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in IBM Informix, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Account, User, Organization, Task from Vitally into Databases, Tables, Rows, Views in IBM Informix with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Vitally with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync account health scores and lifecycle stages from Vitally into a CRM so sales sees churn risk before renewals.
  • 02 Mirror product-usage traits and NPS responses into a warehouse for retention and expansion reporting.
  • 03 Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • 04 Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Vitally API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Vitally arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Vitally become tables in IBM Informix you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Vitally

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 Vitally objects How this pairing syncs
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Conversation Customer conversations logged in Vitally; activity objects include parent object details in the payload. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Conversation to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. NPS Response NPS survey responses for account-health reporting. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and NPS Response to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Custom Trait Custom account and user traits for segmentation. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Custom Trait to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Account Core customer account records with health scores and lifecycle traits; created, updated, retrieved, and listed via the REST API. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Account to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. User End users tied to accounts, including activity and custom traits. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and User to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Organization Parent organizations for hierarchical B2B account structures. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Organization to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix and Vitally

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 Vitally 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 written to Vitally through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Vitally IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionVitally notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental polling on updatedAt cursors.

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.
  • Vitally: Default rate limit of 1,000 requests/min (token bucket); write operations consume more budget, headers expose remaining quota.
