Why teams connect PostgreSQL and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL.

Stacksync mirrors Problems, Changes, Users, Assets from Sysaid into Views, Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns in PostgreSQL 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 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 02 Mirror Assets and Configuration Items with an external CMDB or asset database so inventory and ticket linkage share one source of truth.
  • 03 Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
  • 04 Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time

Common sync patterns

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Sysaid arrive as row changes in PostgreSQL, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

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.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL 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.

PostgreSQL objects Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. 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. Materialized Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Service Requests 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. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Schemas is specific to PostgreSQL and Problems to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Changes to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to PostgreSQL and Users to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. JSONB Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Assets to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Sequences is specific to PostgreSQL and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between PostgreSQL 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.

PostgreSQL Sysaid Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

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

Sysaid PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.
  • 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.
