Why teams connect PostgreSQL and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: PostgreSQL and Ukg Ready share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Ready is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. PostgreSQL is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL with Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts
  • 02 Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
  • 03 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.
  • 04 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Ready stay consistent in PostgreSQL, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in PostgreSQL write onto the matching record in Ukg Ready where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Ready land as queryable JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL and Ukg Ready

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 Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Tables is specific to PostgreSQL and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Materialized Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Schemas is specific to PostgreSQL and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — 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. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — 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. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to PostgreSQL and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between PostgreSQL and Ukg Ready

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

Ukg Ready PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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.
  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
