Why teams connect Quip and Scaleway Postgres

Mirror Quip's data into Scaleway Postgres 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 Quip 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 Scaleway Postgres.

Stacksync mirrors Folders, Messages, Users, Blobs from Quip into Views, Materialized views, Schemas, Sequences in Scaleway Postgres 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 Quip, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Documents and Spreadsheets into Postgres or a warehouse, keyed on thread ID and refreshed when updated_usec advances, for search and reporting on account plans and notes.
  • 02 Write status rows from an operational database into a shared Quip Spreadsheet with update_spreadsheet_row so ops and deal-desk teams see live figures in-document.
  • 03 Replicate the application database into a warehouse for analytics without writing custom pipelines
  • 04 Back internal tools with the same Postgres instance while Stacksync keeps it consistent with external systems

Common sync patterns

Read Quip with a query

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

Automate Quip from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Quip arrive as row changes in Scaleway Postgres, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Quip and Scaleway Postgres

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.

Quip objects Scaleway Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. Documents is specific to Quip and Schemas to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. Spreadsheets is specific to Quip and Sequences to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. Folders is specific to Quip and Columns to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. Messages is specific to Quip and Tables to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. Users is specific to Quip and Views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. Blobs is specific to Quip and Materialized views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Quip and Scaleway Postgres

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.

Quip Scaleway Postgres Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Scaleway Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Scaleway Postgres Quip Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Scaleway Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication where the managed instance permits it.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.
  • Scaleway Postgres: Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.
