Why teams connect Okta and RavenDB

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: RavenDB and Okta share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Okta is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. RavenDB holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.

Stacksync syncs Attachments, Revisions, Counters, Time series in RavenDB with Users, Groups, Applications, Group Rules in Okta field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream RavenDB document changes into Postgres or a warehouse via data subscriptions for SQL analytics.
  • 02 Sync operational documents such as orders and profiles between RavenDB and a CRM so business teams see application data.
  • 03 Sync Groups and their memberships two-way between Okta and a database or IdP so downstream app access stays aligned with source-of-truth org data.
  • 04 Mirror the System Log into Postgres or a warehouse for security analytics, access reviews, and audit retention beyond Okta's log window.

Common sync patterns

Keep group and role membership aligned

A group or role change made in either system updates the other, so the entitlements an application enforces match what the directory grants.

One profile, kept current

A name, department, email, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so the profile the directory shows and the data the application reads stop drifting apart.

Provision accounts from the source of truth

When a person is added to the employee, member, or customer table in RavenDB, Stacksync creates the matching user in Okta with the right attributes, so access starts from live data instead of a manual ticket.

What you can sync between Okta and RavenDB

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.

Okta objects RavenDB objects How this pairing syncs
System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers System Log is specific to Okta and Data subscriptions to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. Documents JSON records, the primary unit read and written during sync Devices is specific to Okta and Documents to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets Users is specific to Okta and Collections to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads Groups is specific to Okta and Indexes to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body Applications is specific to Okta and Attachments to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication Group Rules is specific to Okta and Revisions to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Okta and RavenDB

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.

Okta RavenDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

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

RavenDB Okta Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.
  • RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Okta and RavenDB connectors work

Okta

Integration surface
REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed
Authentication
SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported)
Change detection
Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed
