Why teams connect MotherDuck and Recurly

Land the financial records from Recurly in MotherDuck 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 Transactions, Line Items, Coupons and Redemptions, Billing Info from Recurly into tables in MotherDuck in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in MotherDuck 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 Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • 04 Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in MotherDuck, 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 MotherDuck 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 MotherDuck as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between MotherDuck 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.

MotherDuck objects Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Schemas is specific to MotherDuck and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Tables is specific to MotherDuck and Transactions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Views is specific to MotherDuck and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Database Shares is specific to MotherDuck and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). Attached Local DuckDB Databases is specific to MotherDuck and Billing Info to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Databases is specific to MotherDuck and Measured Units and Usage to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MotherDuck 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.

MotherDuck Recurly Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MotherDuck for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

Recurly MotherDuck 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 MotherDuck as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • MotherDuck: Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits.
  • 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.
