Why teams connect Materialize and Recurly

Land the financial records from Recurly in Materialize continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Plans, Invoices, Transactions, Line Items from Recurly into tables in Materialize in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Materialize can be written back to fields in Recurly where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • 01 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 02 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 03 Maintain real-time inventory, usage, or account-health counters consumed by customer-facing applications.
  • 04 Bridge streaming sources and non-streaming destinations by materializing joins across both.

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Materialize, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Recurly where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Materialize gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Recurly arrive in Materialize as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Materialize and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving. Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Clusters is specific to Materialize and Accounts to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Connections & Secrets is specific to Materialize and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Schemas & Databases is specific to Materialize and Plans to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Tables is specific to Materialize and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Sources is specific to Materialize and Transactions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Materialized Views is specific to Materialize and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Materialize and Recurly

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 Recurly 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 Recurly through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Recurly Materialize Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
