Why teams connect Okta and Tinybird

Land the users, groups, and access events from Okta in Tinybird continuously for security analytics, and write computed results back — without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Okta is the record of who exists and what they can reach; Tinybird is where the business measures everything else. The two overlap on people and their access — the same users, groups, roles, and events that Okta governs are what security, compliance, and analytics teams want to query in Tinybird. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Factors (Authenticators), Policies, System Log, Devices from Okta into tables in Tinybird in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Tinybird, such as risk scores or access-review decisions, can be written back to attributes in Okta where the identity team acts on them. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than a pipeline you keep alive.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.
  • 02 Compute aggregates in Tinybird and write the results back to CRM fields for scoring and routing.
  • 03 Mirror the System Log into Postgres or a warehouse for security analytics, access reviews, and audit retention beyond Okta's log window.
  • 04 Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.

Common sync patterns

Access and sign-in analytics

Sign-in and access events from Okta land in Tinybird, so security and compliance teams can query who reached what, and when, alongside the rest of the business's data.

Access governance on joined data

Join Okta's users and group memberships with HR, product, and usage data already in Tinybird to surface who holds access they no longer need.

Queryable history for audit and compliance

A continuously synced copy in Tinybird gives you a durable, queryable record of identity and access state for access reviews, SOC 2, and audit questions.

What you can sync between Okta and Tinybird

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 Tinybird objects How this pairing syncs
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. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. Groups is specific to Okta and Data Sources to Tinybird — 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. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. Applications is specific to Okta and Pipes to Tinybird — 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. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. Group Rules is specific to Okta and API Endpoints to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Factors (Authenticators) MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. Factors (Authenticators) is specific to Okta and Materialized Views to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. Policies is specific to Okta and Workspaces to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. System Log is specific to Okta and Tokens to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Okta and Tinybird

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 Tinybird 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 applied to Tinybird as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Tinybird Okta Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.

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.
  • Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.

How the Okta and Tinybird 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
