Why teams connect Newrelic and Render Postgres

Keep Render Postgres and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Render Postgres is where your application's durable data lives; Newrelic is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Indexes and Constraints, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Render Postgres with Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate between a Render database and another Postgres or warehouse for migration or environment separation.
  • 02 Two-way sync CRM or ERP objects into Render Postgres tables so product and ops teams query business data with plain SQL.
  • 03 Sync the Entity catalog into a CMDB or warehouse for asset inventory, and add or replace entity Tags to keep ownership and environment metadata current.
  • 04 Provision Synthetics Monitors from a service catalog and read their results via NRQL for availability and latency reporting in SQL.

Common sync patterns

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Render Postgres creates or updates the matching record in Newrelic, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Newrelic arrive in Render Postgres as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in Render Postgres and Stacksync keeps Newrelic current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

What you can sync between Newrelic and Render Postgres

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.

Newrelic objects Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Alert Policies & Conditions Alert policies and NRQL alert conditions managed through NerdGraph alertsPolicy and alertsNrqlCondition mutations with full create, update, and delete; read out for audit or provisioned from a config source so alerting stays consistent across accounts. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Alert Policies & Conditions is specific to Newrelic and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
NRQL Query Results Telemetry events, metrics, logs, and spans queried through NerdGraph's nrql field (or the legacy Insights query API) over time windows; read-only and bounded by data retention, commonly streamed into a warehouse for long-term analysis. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. NRQL Query Results is specific to Newrelic and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Entities The entity catalog of APM applications, hosts, services, and monitors searched via NerdGraph entitySearch; read for inventory, with tags added or replaced through taggingAddTagsToEntity so ownership and environment metadata stay in sync. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Entities is specific to Newrelic and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workloads Workload groupings of related entities via NerdGraph workloadCreate/workloadUpdate/workloadDelete with full CRUD; read for status rollups or provisioned from a service catalog to keep team-level views current. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Workloads is specific to Newrelic and Schemas to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Synthetics Monitors Synthetic uptime and scripted browser checks managed through NerdGraph synthetics mutations (create, update, delete); monitor results are read via NRQL for availability and latency reporting. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Synthetics Monitors is specific to Newrelic and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Events Custom events posted write-only to the Event API on insights-collector with a License/Ingest key; business or pipeline events pushed into New Relic to enrich dashboards, then queried back out with NRQL. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Custom Events is specific to Newrelic and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Newrelic and Render Postgres

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.

Newrelic Render Postgres Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

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

Render Postgres Newrelic Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.

How the Newrelic and Render Postgres connectors work

Newrelic

Integration surface
NerdGraph (GraphQL) plus REST data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log, Trace) and the legacy REST API v2
Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
Change detection
NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans); config objects such as dashboards, alert policies, and workloads carry no modified-date and are diffed on each run. Alert workflows can push outbound webhook notifications for near-real-time alerting. No CDC feed.
