Why teams connect Mixpanel and Starburst Enterprise

Flow Mixpanel data into Starburst Enterprise in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

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

Mixpanel is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Starburst Enterprise is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Cohort membership into an operational database to drive lifecycle email and in-app targeting from a single source.
  • 02 Read Funnel and Retention reports from the Query API into a reporting database for executive dashboards without manual CSV pulls.
  • 03 Consolidate reads from multiple databases behind a single connection instead of maintaining one integration per source
  • 04 Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts

Common sync patterns

Corrections propagate instead of reloading

When a record is fixed or backfilled on one side, the change reaches the other without a full reload, keeping history consistent across both.

One number both sides agree on

Metrics and aggregates stay aligned between the two systems, so a figure shown in Mixpanel matches the Starburst Enterprise table it was built from instead of drifting between refreshes.

Where Starburst Enterprise holds the source tables: live data in the reporting layer

Records maintained in Starburst Enterprise flow into Mixpanel as they change, so dashboards and reports read current rows rather than an overnight extract.

What you can sync between Mixpanel and Starburst Enterprise

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.

Mixpanel objects Starburst Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Group Profiles Account or workspace-level records from Group Analytics; read to roll event data up to a company or org dimension. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Group Profiles is specific to Mixpanel and Columns to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cohorts Saved user segments; membership pulled through the Engage/cohorts Query API to drive downstream lifecycle lists. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Cohorts is specific to Mixpanel and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Funnels Multi-step conversion reports; the Query API returns computed conversion rates rather than raw event rows. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Funnels is specific to Mixpanel and Schemas to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Retention Return-usage reports read from the Query API as aggregated cohort tables, not row-level records. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Retention is specific to Mixpanel and Tables to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segmentation Property-based event breakdowns from the Query API, returned as time-series aggregates for reporting. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Segmentation is specific to Mixpanel and Views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lookup Tables Dimension tables joined to events; capped at 100MB with 100 writes per 24h, so treated as reference data. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Lookup Tables is specific to Mixpanel and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Mixpanel and Starburst Enterprise

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.

Mixpanel Starburst Enterprise Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Mixpanel for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: the Raw Data Export API is polled over an event-time date window (from_date/to_date).

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

Starburst Enterprise Mixpanel Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

DeliveryMixpanel does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Mixpanel's output flows back as field updates on the originating Starburst Enterprise records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Mixpanel: Raw Data Export API allows 60 queries/hour, 3/second, and up to 100 concurrent; the Query API allows 60/hour with 5 concurrent; exceeding limits returns a 429.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.
