Why teams connect IBM Informix and VoltDB

Keep IBM Informix and VoltDB 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 VoltDB 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 Push aggregates from VoltDB materialized views into dashboards or operational tools.
  • 04 Sync customer or account reference data from a CRM into VoltDB replicated tables for in-transaction lookups such as fraud or policy checks.

Common sync patterns

Cross-engine sync

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

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

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

What you can sync between IBM Informix 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.

IBM Informix objects VoltDB objects How this pairing syncs
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Streams to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Export Targets and Topics to VoltDB — 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. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Partitioned Tables to VoltDB — 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. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Replicated Tables to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Materialized Views to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix 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.

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

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