Why teams connect RavenDB and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from RavenDB: 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 Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers from Workday into Time series, Data subscriptions, Documents, Collections in RavenDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against RavenDB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • 02 Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • 03 Keep external search indexes or caches current from RavenDB change feeds without custom pollers.
  • 04 Stream RavenDB document changes into Postgres or a warehouse via data subscriptions for SQL analytics.

Common sync patterns

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in RavenDB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

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

What you can sync between RavenDB and Workday

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.

RavenDB objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. Attachments is specific to RavenDB and Organizations to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. Revisions is specific to RavenDB and Positions to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Counters is specific to RavenDB and Compensation to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Time series is specific to RavenDB and Time Off and Absence to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Data subscriptions is specific to RavenDB and Payroll Results to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents JSON records, the primary unit read and written during sync Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Documents is specific to RavenDB and Suppliers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between RavenDB and Workday

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.

RavenDB Workday Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.

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

Workday RavenDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.
