Why teams connect MarkLogic and MotherDuck

Connect MarkLogic and MotherDuck with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want MarkLogic's rows in MotherDuck, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in MarkLogic where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in MarkLogic sync into MotherDuck in real time, and result tables in MotherDuck sync back into MarkLogic, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Sync modeled MotherDuck tables outward to operational tools for activation
  • Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.
  • Write updates from operational systems back into the document hub to keep the canonical record current.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in MotherDuck and keep MarkLogic focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from MarkLogic land in MotherDuck as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between MarkLogic and MotherDuck

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.

MarkLogic objects MotherDuck objects
Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes.
Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables.
Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis.
TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources.
Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams.
Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries.
