Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid'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 Sysaid 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 Users, Assets, Configuration Items (CIs), Companies from Sysaid into Sequences, Follower Databases, Tables, 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 Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream Service Records into a warehouse for SLA, backlog, and MTTR reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Incidents and Service Requests with a Postgres database so on-call and internal apps read and update tickets in SQL while agents keep working in SysAid.
  • 03 Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
  • 04 Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos

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 Sysaid with a query

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

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

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

What you can sync between Postgres Heroku and Sysaid

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 Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Follower Databases is specific to Postgres Heroku and Incidents to Sysaid — 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. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Tables is specific to Postgres Heroku and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Views is specific to Postgres Heroku and Problems to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Materialized Views is specific to Postgres Heroku and Changes to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Schemas is specific to Postgres Heroku and Users to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Postgres Heroku and Assets to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Postgres Heroku and Sysaid

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

Sysaid Postgres Heroku Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the Postgres Heroku and Sysaid 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

Rate limits
No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
