Why teams connect Ramp and TiDB

Work with Ramp's financial data straight from TiDB: 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 Views, Columns, Indexes, Sequences in TiDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against TiDB, 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 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.
  • 02 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 04 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Ramp live in TiDB 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 TiDB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Ramp.

Write back safely

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

What you can sync between Ramp and TiDB

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 TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Bills is specific to Ramp and Tables to TiDB — 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. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Vendors is specific to Ramp and Views to TiDB — 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. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Funds (Spend Controls) is specific to Ramp and Columns to TiDB — 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. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. General Ledger Accounts is specific to Ramp and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transactions Card purchase records with merchant, amount, and state; read for spend/GL sync and written back via accounting codings and sync status. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Transactions is specific to Ramp and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cards Physical and virtual card records; created and managed through the API to provision or suspend cardholder spend. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Cards is specific to Ramp and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ramp and TiDB

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

TiDB Ramp Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Ramp and TiDB 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.
