Why teams connect Scaleway Postgres and Success Factors

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

Success Factors is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Scaleway Postgres is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position, PerEmail and PerPhone in Success Factors need to exist as queryable Schemas, Sequences, Columns, Tables in Scaleway 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 Schemas, Sequences, Columns, Tables in Scaleway Postgres with EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position, PerEmail and PerPhone in Success Factors field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Success Factors 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 Replicate the application database into a warehouse for analytics without writing custom pipelines
  • 02 Back internal tools with the same Postgres instance while Stacksync keeps it consistent with external systems
  • 03 Keep Foundation Objects (department, location, cost center) aligned between SuccessFactors and an ERP so cost-center and org hierarchies match.
  • 04 Write updated PerEmail, PerPhone, and User attributes back into SuccessFactors from an identity or directory system so contact data stays current.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Success Factors stay consistent in Scaleway Postgres, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Scaleway Postgres write onto the matching record in Success Factors where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Success Factors land as queryable Schemas, Sequences, Columns, Tables in Scaleway Postgres, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between Scaleway Postgres and Success Factors

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.

Scaleway Postgres objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Views is specific to Scaleway Postgres and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Materialized views is specific to Scaleway Postgres and User to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Schemas is specific to Scaleway Postgres and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Sequences is specific to Scaleway Postgres and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Columns is specific to Scaleway Postgres and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Tables is specific to Scaleway Postgres and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Scaleway Postgres and Success Factors

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.

Scaleway Postgres Success Factors 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 Success Factors through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Success Factors Scaleway Postgres Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Scaleway Postgres: Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
