Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and Servicemax

Mirror Servicemax's data into Postgres Heroku so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Servicemax through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Postgres Heroku.

Stacksync mirrors Products, Work Orders, Work Details, Installed Products from Servicemax into Follower Databases, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Postgres Heroku and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Servicemax, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Installed Products (SVMXC__Installed_Product__c) aligned with an asset or IoT database for warranty, entitlement, and service-history reporting.
  • 02 Consolidate Service Contracts and entitlement data into a warehouse for renewal forecasting and SLA compliance dashboards.
  • 03 Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • 04 Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Servicemax with a query

Records from Servicemax are ordinary rows in Postgres Heroku; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Servicemax from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Postgres Heroku and Stacksync propagates the change into Servicemax, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Postgres Heroku and Servicemax

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.

Postgres Heroku objects Servicemax objects How this pairing syncs
JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Service Contracts SVMXC__Service_Contract__c; coverage and entitlement agreements; synced to warehouses for renewal, SLA, and warranty reporting. JSONB Columns is specific to Postgres Heroku and Service Contracts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Stock History SVMXC__Stock_History__c; append-only log of inventory transactions (RMA, shipment, parts receipt); read out for parts and inventory analytics. Sequences is specific to Postgres Heroku and Stock History to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Accounts Standard Salesforce Account; customer and site company records; synced two-way with CRM and database customer tables. Follower Databases is specific to Postgres Heroku and Accounts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. Contacts Standard Salesforce Contact; people linked to Accounts and service sites; synced with CRM and support person records. Tables is specific to Postgres Heroku and Contacts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Cases Standard Salesforce Case; support records that often precede a Work Order; synced with help desk tools and reporting databases. Views is specific to Postgres Heroku and Cases to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Products Standard Salesforce Product2; catalog of serviceable products and spare parts referenced by Installed Products and Work Details. Materialized Views is specific to Postgres Heroku and Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Postgres Heroku and Servicemax

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.

Postgres Heroku Servicemax Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.

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

Servicemax Postgres Heroku Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Servicemax are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.
  • Servicemax: Governed by the Salesforce org-wide daily API request allocation, shared across all integrations and scaled by edition and license count.

How the Postgres Heroku and Servicemax connectors work

Postgres Heroku

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required
Change detection
Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan

Servicemax

Integration surface
Salesforce REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs (ServiceMax is a managed package on the Salesforce platform)
Authentication
Salesforce OAuth login via a user with API access; the connecting profile needs object and field permissions on ServiceMax's SVMXC__ objects
Change detection
Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object where enabled
Capabilities
