Why teams connect MySQL and Pigment

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from MySQL: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Tables, Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions from Pigment into Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, JSON Columns, Stored Procedures in MySQL and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against MySQL, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • 02 Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
  • 03 Feed a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps
  • 04 Two-way sync between a MySQL application database and a CRM so operational records and sales records stay identical

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on MySQL; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in MySQL propagate into Pigment, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Pigment appear in MySQL as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between MySQL and Pigment

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.

MySQL objects Pigment objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context Triggers is specific to MySQL and Scenarios to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model Databases (Schemas) is specific to MySQL and Data imports to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Users and permissions Access controls governing which model areas a sync can touch Views is specific to MySQL and Users and permissions to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce Columns is specific to MySQL and Applications to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Primary and Unique Keys is specific to MySQL and Metrics to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MySQL and Pigment

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.

MySQL Pigment Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.

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

Pigment MySQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pigment for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No change feed.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
  • Pigment: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
