Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and Snapfulfil

Give your engineers Snapfulfil's data in Postgres Heroku: 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 Purchase orders / ASNs, Items (SKUs), Inventory balances, Shipments from Snapfulfil into Postgres Heroku and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Snapfulfil is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Postgres Heroku sync back into Snapfulfil with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
  • 02 Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
  • 03 Push sales orders from an ERP or e-commerce platform into Snapfulfil for fulfillment without file drops
  • 04 Sync shipment confirmations and tracking numbers back to the order management system as orders dispatch

Common sync patterns

React to ERP changes

Updates in Snapfulfil arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

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

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

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Postgres Heroku back into Snapfulfil, keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between Postgres Heroku and Snapfulfil

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 Snapfulfil objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Warehouse locations Bin and zone structure referenced by stock and movement records. Materialized Views is specific to Postgres Heroku and Warehouse locations to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Returns Inbound customer returns processed back into stock or quarantine. Schemas is specific to Postgres Heroku and Returns to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. Sales orders Orders pushed into the WMS for picking, packing, and dispatch. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Postgres Heroku and Sales orders to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Purchase orders / ASNs Inbound expectations that drive receiving and putaway. JSONB Columns is specific to Postgres Heroku and Purchase orders / ASNs to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Items (SKUs) The item master, usually sourced from the ERP or storefront. Sequences is specific to Postgres Heroku and Items (SKUs) to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Inventory balances On-hand and allocated stock, read back to keep the ERP and selling channels accurate. Follower Databases is specific to Postgres Heroku and Inventory balances to Snapfulfil — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Postgres Heroku and Snapfulfil

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 Snapfulfil 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 Snapfulfil through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Snapfulfil Postgres Heroku Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Snapfulfil for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, subject to the platform's API rate limits.

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.
  • Snapfulfil: Specific quotas are not publicly standardized; treat throughput as instance-dependent.
