Why teams connect Monday and TiDB

Mirror Monday's data into TiDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Monday through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in TiDB.

Stacksync mirrors Updates, Users, Workspaces, Boards from Monday into Tables, Views, Columns, Indexes in TiDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Monday, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of Items and their Column values between a monday.com board and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in monday.com.
  • 02 Write closed deals or provisioning records from a CRM or ERP into monday.com Items to kick off delivery and onboarding boards.
  • 03 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 04 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Monday with a query

Records from Monday are ordinary rows in TiDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Monday from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in TiDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Monday, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Monday and TiDB

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.

Monday objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Updates Comment and activity threads attached to items; read out into a database for reporting or written back as notes. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Updates is specific to Monday and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Account members referenced by people columns; read to resolve owner and assignee IDs to names and emails. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Users is specific to Monday and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Top-level containers that hold boards; used to scope which boards a given sync covers. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Workspaces is specific to Monday and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Boards Table-like containers that hold items; each board maps to a synced table, and its columns define the field mapping. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Boards is specific to Monday and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Rows within a board and the primary record; synced two-way and created, updated, archived, or deleted via GraphQL mutations. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Items is specific to Monday and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subitems Nested rows under items, stored on a separate hidden board; synced as a child table linked to the parent item. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Subitems is specific to Monday and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Monday and TiDB

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.

Monday TiDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionMonday notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Board-scoped webhooks (create_item, change_column_value, item_deleted, and similar) for real-time events.

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

TiDB Monday Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Monday: Complexity-budget limits: a single query caps at 5M complexity points and ~10M points/min per user token (1M on trial/free) over a sliding 60s window.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Monday and TiDB connectors work

Monday
