Why teams connect InterSystems IRIS and Rabbitmq

Keep InterSystems IRIS and Rabbitmq in step: the rows in your database and the Exchanges, Bindings, Messages, Virtual Hosts your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

InterSystems IRIS is where your application's durable data lives; Rabbitmq is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Schemas, Persistent Classes in InterSystems IRIS with Exchanges, Bindings, Messages, Virtual Hosts in Rabbitmq field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate IRIS data with other databases in an analytics warehouse for cross-system reporting
  • 02 Keep reference data consistent between an IRIS-based clinical or financial application and downstream SaaS tools
  • 03 Publish records changed in a CRM or operational database onto a RabbitMQ Exchange so services consuming the bound Queues react to them.
  • 04 Fan a single event out to multiple systems by binding several Queues to a fanout Exchange, each feeding a different Stacksync sync.

Common sync patterns

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in InterSystems IRIS creates or updates the matching record in Rabbitmq, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Rabbitmq arrive in InterSystems IRIS as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in InterSystems IRIS and Stacksync keeps Rabbitmq current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

What you can sync between InterSystems IRIS and Rabbitmq

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.

InterSystems IRIS objects Rabbitmq objects How this pairing syncs
Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Nodes Cluster members exposing health, memory, and disk metrics via the Management HTTP API; read-only, used for monitoring alongside a sync. Persistent Classes is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Nodes to Rabbitmq — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. Queues Buffers that store and forward messages; Stacksync consumes from a queue as a source and can declare or write to one as a destination. Globals is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Queues to Rabbitmq — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. Exchanges Routing entry points (direct, fanout, topic, headers); Stacksync publishes messages to an exchange, which forwards copies to bound queues. Namespaces is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Exchanges to Rabbitmq — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Bindings Rules linking an exchange to a queue by routing key or pattern; they determine which messages reach which queue and can be declared during setup. Stored Procedures is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Bindings to Rabbitmq — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. Messages The payload plus headers and properties; consumed (read) via basic.consume and published (write) via basic.publish, then mapped to rows or records. Tables is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Messages to Rabbitmq — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Virtual Hosts Isolated namespaces (vhosts) that separate environments or tenants; a connection targets one vhost and permissions are scoped to it. Views is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Virtual Hosts to Rabbitmq — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between InterSystems IRIS and Rabbitmq

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.

InterSystems IRIS Rabbitmq Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InterSystems IRIS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling (timestamp or query-based).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Rabbitmq through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rabbitmq InterSystems IRIS Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Rabbitmq for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Push delivery — a consumer subscribes to a queue (AMQP basic.consume) and RabbitMQ pushes each enqueued message down the open AMQP connection in real.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • InterSystems IRIS: Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits.
  • Rabbitmq: No fixed API request quota; the broker applies TCP back-pressure (flow control), per-consumer prefetch (QoS) limits, and blocks publishers when memory or disk alarms trip.
