Why teams connect Jms and TiDB

Keep TiDB and Jms in step: the rows in your database and the Dead Letter Queue, Queue, Topic, TextMessage your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

TiDB is where your application's durable data lives; Jms 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 Sequences, Databases, Tables, Views in TiDB with Dead Letter Queue, Queue, Topic, TextMessage in Jms 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 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 02 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 03 Publish records changed in a CRM or database as TextMessages onto a JMS Topic so subscribing Java services react in real time.
  • 04 Bridge a legacy IBM MQ or ActiveMQ Queue to a SaaS system of record by consuming each message and writing the record through the SaaS API.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

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

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Jms arrive as row changes in TiDB, and writes to TiDB propagate to Jms within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Jms manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Jms stay matched to the users or owners table in TiDB, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

What you can sync between Jms and TiDB

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.

Jms objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Dead Letter Queue Provider-managed destination (e.g. ActiveMQ.DLQ, IBM MQ dead-letter queue) where messages exceeding redelivery limits land; read to reconcile failed deliveries. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Dead Letter Queue is specific to Jms and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Queue Point-to-point destination where each message is delivered to exactly one consumer. Stacksync consumes messages to load into a database, or publishes messages for a downstream Java service to process. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Queue is specific to Jms and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Topic Publish/subscribe destination that fans each message out to every active subscriber. Stacksync subscribes to event streams or publishes records so multiple services react. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Topic is specific to Jms and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TextMessage Most common body type, carrying a String that is usually JSON or XML. Deserialized into rows/records on read and serialized from source records on write. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. TextMessage is specific to Jms and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
MapMessage Body of typed name/value pairs that maps directly onto record fields, so no custom body parsing is needed on read or write. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. MapMessage is specific to Jms and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
BytesMessage Raw binary body for files, protobuf, or opaque payloads; passed through as a byte stream when structured field mapping is not required. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. BytesMessage is specific to Jms and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jms and TiDB

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.

Jms TiDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionJms notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Asynchronous push — the broker delivers messages to registered consumers (MessageListener.onMessage) in real time, with no polling.

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

TiDB Jms Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Jms: JMS defines no protocol-level rate limits; throughput ceilings, consumer prefetch, and producer flow control are configured on the broker (ActiveMQ, IBM MQ, Solace, TIBCO EMS, etc.).
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Jms and TiDB connectors work

Jms

Integration surface
JMS / Jakarta Messaging API (classic API and simplified JMSContext) over provider transports such as OpenWire, AMQP, IBM MQ, or STOMP
Authentication
Username/password credentials passed to ConnectionFactory.createConnection(); ConnectionFactory and Destinations resolved via JNDI. Transport security (TLS) and stronger auth (SASL, JAAS, client certificates) are broker-implementation-specific.
Change detection
Asynchronous push — the broker delivers messages to registered consumers (MessageListener.onMessage) in real time, with no polling. Message selectors (an SQL-92 subset over headers/properties) filter delivery. There is no modified-date polling or CDC replay, and queue consumption is destructive.
Capabilities

Rate limits
