Why teams connect Plex ERP and TiDB

Give your engineers Plex ERP's data in TiDB: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Production jobs, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Customers from Plex ERP into TiDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Plex ERP is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in TiDB sync back into Plex ERP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 02 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • 03 Push sales orders captured in e-commerce or EDI systems into Plex for scheduling and fulfillment.
  • 04 Mirror purchase orders and receipts to accounting or planning tools.

Common sync patterns

Where Plex ERP is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in TiDB for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from TiDB back into Plex ERP, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Plex ERP live in TiDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Plex ERP and TiDB

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.

Plex ERP objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Customers is specific to Plex ERP and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records aligned with procurement and AP tools Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Suppliers is specific to Plex ERP and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Outbound logistics records synced to trading partners and tracking systems Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Shipments is specific to Plex ERP and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Quality records is specific to Plex ERP and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Parts is specific to Plex ERP and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Inventory is specific to Plex ERP and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Plex ERP and TiDB

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.

Plex ERP TiDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Plex ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

TiDB Plex ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
