Why teams connect Neo4j and YugabyteDB

Keep Neo4j and YugabyteDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Neo4j and YugabyteDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep a customer-360 graph continuously updated from ERP, CRM, and support sources.
  • 02 Mirror CRM accounts and contacts into a graph to model buying-group and referral relationships.
  • 03 Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.
  • 04 Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.

Common sync patterns

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Neo4j and YugabyteDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between Neo4j and YugabyteDB

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.

Neo4j objects YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Properties is specific to Neo4j and Schemas to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Labels is specific to Neo4j and Sequences to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. Indexes & Constraints is specific to Neo4j and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. Databases is specific to Neo4j and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Users & Roles is specific to Neo4j and Tables to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Nodes is specific to Neo4j and Indexes to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Neo4j and YugabyteDB

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.

Neo4j YugabyteDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes.

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

YugabyteDB Neo4j Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Neo4j through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
