Why teams connect Ramp and Render Postgres

Work with Ramp's financial data straight from Render Postgres: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Departments, Reimbursements, Bills, Vendors from Ramp into Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in Render Postgres and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Render Postgres, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Ramp with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 02 Mirror Bills and their approval and payment state into an AP or ERP system, marking each one ready-to-sync then synced to keep both ledgers reconciled.
  • 03 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.
  • 04 Serve as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Ramp live in Render Postgres as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Render Postgres; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Ramp.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Render Postgres propagate into Ramp, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Ramp and Render 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.

Ramp objects Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Departments is specific to Ramp and Schemas to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Reimbursements is specific to Ramp and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Bills is specific to Ramp and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Vendors is specific to Ramp and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Funds (Spend Controls) is specific to Ramp and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. General Ledger Accounts is specific to Ramp and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ramp and Render 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.

Ramp Render Postgres Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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

Render Postgres Ramp Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.

How the Ramp and Render Postgres connectors work

Ramp

Integration surface
REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).
Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
Capabilities
