Why teams connect Microsoft Power Bi and Scaleway Postgres

Give Microsoft Power Bi the users, events, and records that live in Scaleway Postgres in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Microsoft Power Bi computes back into Scaleway Postgres where your applications read them.

Microsoft Power Bi is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Scaleway Postgres, so Scaleway Postgres always reflects the current state of Microsoft Power Bi — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Microsoft Power Bi is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Scaleway Postgres into Microsoft Power Bi 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync admin Activity Events into a warehouse for tenant-wide security, access, and usage reporting.
  • 02 Read Users and workspace access for periodic access reviews reconciled against an HR or Microsoft Entra ID source of record.
  • 03 Run a two-way sync between Scaleway Postgres and SaaS tools so edits made in either system converge on the same rows
  • 04 Replicate the application database into a warehouse for analytics without writing custom pipelines

Common sync patterns

Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline

The users, events, orders, and records stored in Scaleway Postgres land in Microsoft Power Bi as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

One version of each user or account

A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

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

What you can sync between Microsoft Power Bi and Scaleway Postgres

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.

Microsoft Power Bi objects Scaleway Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Reports Report definitions and metadata read via GET /reports and per-workspace GET /groups/{id}/reports; enumerated to mirror the content inventory into a catalog. Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. Reports is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Materialized views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dashboards and Tiles Dashboards and their pinned tiles read via GET /dashboards and /dashboards/{id}/tiles; inventoried to map dashboard content back to its source datasets. Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. Dashboards and Tiles is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Schemas to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dataflows Power Query ETL definitions read via GET /groups/{id}/dataflows; used to document lineage from upstream sources into datasets. Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. Dataflows is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Sequences to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Datasources and Gateways The connections behind datasets and dataflows and the on-premises gateways serving them, read via REST for lineage and dependency mapping. Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. Datasources and Gateways is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Columns to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Refresh History Dataset refresh runs read via GET /datasets/{id}/refreshes, including status, type, and timing, to alert on failed or slow scheduled refreshes. Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. Refresh History is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Tables to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces (Groups) Containers for content read via GET /groups (tenant-wide via GET /admin/groups); mirrored to reproduce the tenant's content hierarchy in a catalog. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. Workspaces (Groups) is specific to Microsoft Power Bi and Views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Power Bi and Scaleway Postgres

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.

Microsoft Power Bi Scaleway Postgres Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Microsoft Power Bi for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture.

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

Scaleway Postgres Microsoft Power Bi Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Scaleway Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication where the managed instance permits it.

DeliveryMicrosoft Power Bi does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Microsoft Power Bi's output flows back as field updates on the originating Scaleway Postgres records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Microsoft Power Bi: Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.
  • Scaleway Postgres: Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.

How the Microsoft Power Bi and Scaleway Postgres connectors work

Microsoft Power Bi

Integration surface
Power BI REST API, including the Execute Queries (DAX) endpoint and admin scanner APIs; a read-write XMLA endpoint is available on Premium, Premium-Per-User, and Fabric capacity.
Authentication
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens. Supports delegated user tokens and app-only service principals; service principals must be enabled under the tenant's Developer settings and granted workspace access. Tenant-wide admin reads require the Tenant.Read.All scope.
Change detection
Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture. Content is polled via REST list endpoints, dataset changes are inferred from Refresh History and the admin Activity Events audit log, and the scanner API's GetModifiedWorkspaces reports workspaces changed since a given time.
Capabilities
