Why teams connect Materialize and RavenDB

Connect RavenDB and Materialize 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 RavenDB's rows in Materialize, 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 RavenDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

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

Common use cases

  • 01 Read computed view results back into a CRM or application database as derived fields.
  • 02 Drive alerting and operational tooling from SUBSCRIBE change streams instead of scheduled queries.
  • 03 Stream RavenDB document changes into Postgres or a warehouse via data subscriptions for SQL analytics.
  • 04 Sync operational documents such as orders and profiles between RavenDB and a CRM so business teams see application data.

Common sync patterns

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

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

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Materialize sync into RavenDB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

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

What you can sync between Materialize and RavenDB

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.

Materialize objects RavenDB objects How this pairing syncs
Indexes In-memory arrangements that make view reads fast for serving workloads. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets Materialized Views is specific to Materialize and Collections to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics. Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body Sinks is specific to Materialize and Attachments to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving. Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication Clusters is specific to Materialize and Revisions to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks. Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body Connections & Secrets is specific to Materialize and Counters to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets. Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis Schemas & Databases is specific to Materialize and Time series to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Materialize and RavenDB

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.

Materialize RavenDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Materialize are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client.

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

RavenDB Materialize Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.
