Why teams connect Pendo and StarRocks

Put the same events, users, and metrics on both sides: Pendo and StarRocks stay current in real time, in both directions.

Pendo is where teams explore, visualize, and report; StarRocks is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Stacksync syncs Poll / NPS Responses, Features / Pages / Guides (metadata), Visitors, Accounts in Pendo with Materialized views, Views, Partitions, Columns in StarRocks field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set. Whether the flow is warehouse tables feeding live reports or captured events and segments landing back in StarRocks, every copy stays consistent.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Pendo Visitors and Accounts into a data model to score product-qualified accounts alongside behavioral event data.
  • 02 Load guide-engagement events into a reporting database to measure onboarding-flow adoption against retention and expansion.
  • 03 Continuously apply upserts from operational databases into Primary Key tables to keep analytics current
  • 04 Serve customer-facing analytics from SaaS data synced into one analytical store

Common sync patterns

Where Pendo produces segments or scores: results back to the warehouse

Cohorts, segments, and computed metrics defined in Pendo write to StarRocks as tables the rest of the stack can query and join.

Shared user and account keys

Users and accounts tracked in Pendo line up with the customer or user rows in StarRocks on a stable key, so both sides count the same population.

Corrections propagate instead of reloading

When a record is fixed or backfilled on one side, the change reaches the other without a full reload, keeping history consistent across both.

What you can sync between Pendo and StarRocks

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.

Pendo objects StarRocks objects How this pairing syncs
Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. Partitions Time or range partitions that scope loads and retention. Feature Events is specific to Pendo and Partitions to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. Columns Columnar storage with types mapped from source systems during sync. Page Events is specific to Pendo and Columns to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. Databases Top-level namespaces addressed exactly as in MySQL clients. Guide Events is specific to Pendo and Databases to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Tables Defined with a table model (Primary Key, Unique Key, Aggregate, Duplicate Key) that determines update behavior. Poll / NPS Responses is specific to Pendo and Tables to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) Definitions of tagged UI elements listed through the entity endpoints; read-only reference used to label and join the event streams. Materialized views Automatically maintained rollups used to accelerate queries on synced data. Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) is specific to Pendo and Materialized views to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. Views Logical views for shaping analytical reads. Visitors is specific to Pendo and Views to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Pendo and StarRocks

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.

Pendo StarRocks Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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

StarRocks Pendo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls StarRocks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling when reading.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.
  • StarRocks: Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Pendo and StarRocks connectors work

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.

StarRocks

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL; HTTP-based Stream Load API for ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Query-based polling when reading; StarRocks is most often the destination side of a sync
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas
