Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and VoltDB

Keep Postgres Heroku and VoltDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Postgres Heroku and VoltDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows
  • 02 Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
  • 03 Push aggregates from VoltDB materialized views into dashboards or operational tools.
  • 04 Sync customer or account reference data from a CRM into VoltDB replicated tables for in-transaction lookups such as fraud or policy checks.

Common sync patterns

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Postgres Heroku and VoltDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Postgres Heroku and VoltDB

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 VoltDB objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface. Schemas is specific to Postgres Heroku and Stored Procedures to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Postgres Heroku and Streams to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks. JSONB Columns is specific to Postgres Heroku and Export Targets and Topics to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target. Sequences is specific to Postgres Heroku and Partitioned Tables to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data. Follower Databases is specific to Postgres Heroku and Replicated Tables to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Postgres Heroku and VoltDB

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 VoltDB 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 applied to VoltDB 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.
  • VoltDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by partition count and cluster sizing.
