Why teams connect MariaDB and Pendo

Give Pendo the users, events, and records that live in MariaDB in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Pendo computes back into MariaDB where your applications read them.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Pendo is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from MariaDB into Pendo usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Stacksync syncs Stored Procedures, Databases (Schemas), Tables, Views in MariaDB with Visitors, Accounts, Feature Events, Page Events in Pendo in real time and in both directions. Operational rows flow into Pendo as they change, so dashboards read current data with no pipeline to maintain, and the segments, cohorts, or scores Pendo computes flow back into MariaDB, where the applications and services that read from it get them at normal query latency. Field-level mapping, schema and type translation, and conflict resolution are handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export feature, page, and guide Events out of Pendo over event-time windows into Postgres or a warehouse so product usage joins with CRM, billing, and support data in SQL.
  • 02 Pull NPS scores and poll responses into a database so voice-of-customer sits next to revenue, renewal, and churn signals for analysis.
  • 03 Feed a warehouse continuously from MariaDB using binlog-based capture instead of scheduled dumps
  • 04 Keep several MariaDB instances aligned with one system of record across environments

Common sync patterns

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Pendo because they sync from MariaDB as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

Where Pendo tracks product events: behavior onto stored records

Signup, usage, and lifecycle events captured in Pendo sync into MariaDB as rows, so applications and internal tools can read behavioral data next to the records they already keep.

Where Pendo builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Pendo sync back into MariaDB, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.

What you can sync between MariaDB and Pendo

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.

MariaDB objects Pendo objects How this pairing syncs
Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. Columns is specific to MariaDB and Visitors to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to MariaDB and Accounts to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System-Versioned Tables Temporal tables that retain row history natively, useful for auditing synced changes. Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. System-Versioned Tables is specific to MariaDB and Feature Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON Columns Semi-structured payloads validated with JSON functions. Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. JSON Columns is specific to MariaDB and Page Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. Stored Procedures is specific to MariaDB and Guide Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Databases (Schemas) is specific to MariaDB and Poll / NPS Responses to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MariaDB and Pendo

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.

MariaDB Pendo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

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

Pendo MariaDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.
