Why teams connect Render Postgres and Ukg Pro

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

Ukg Pro is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Render Postgres is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables) in Ukg Pro need to exist as queryable Indexes and Constraints, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Render Postgres 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 Indexes and Constraints, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Render Postgres with Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables) in Ukg Pro field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Pro 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 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.
  • 02 Serve as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Employee and Job Details (position, department, supervisor, location, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current worker and org data in SQL while HR edits in UKG Pro.
  • 04 Push new hires (Employee, Employment, Job) into an ERP, IdP, or app database when onboarding completes so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual report exports.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables) replicate into Render Postgres where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

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

Computed and operational fields flow back

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

What you can sync between Render Postgres and Ukg Pro

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.

Render Postgres objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Columns and Types is specific to Render Postgres and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Indexes and Constraints is specific to Render Postgres and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Compensation Details Effective-dated pay rate and salary; usually read into a warehouse for comp reporting and writable as new dated changes through the compensation endpoints. Tables is specific to Render Postgres and Compensation Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Views is specific to Render Postgres and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Materialized Views is specific to Render Postgres and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) Reference data such as jobs, locations, positions, earnings, and deduction codes; used to resolve and validate field values when mapping records during sync. Schemas is specific to Render Postgres and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Render Postgres and Ukg Pro

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.

Render Postgres Ukg Pro 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 Ukg Pro through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Pro Render Postgres Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

How the Render Postgres and Ukg Pro connectors work

Render Postgres

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol (managed Postgres on Render)
Authentication
Standard Postgres connection string — host, port, database, user, password with TLS; Render provides internal and external connection URLs and IP allowlisting
Change detection
Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
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.

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
Capabilities
