Why teams connect Seismic and TiDB

Treat Seismic like part of your database: its records live in TiDB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in TiDB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Users, User Groups, Teamsites, LiveSend Links from Seismic into Views, Columns, Indexes, Sequences in TiDB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Seismic with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.
  • 02 Sync Library Content metadata and Custom Property Schemas with a DAM or PIM so one taxonomy governs assets across systems.
  • 03 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • 04 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas

Common sync patterns

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Seismic become tables in TiDB you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to TiDB sync onto the matching records in Seismic, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Seismic API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Seismic 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.

Seismic objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Digital Sales Rooms is specific to Seismic and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Reporting Activities is specific to Seismic and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Library Content is specific to Seismic and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Content Versions is specific to Seismic and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Users is specific to Seismic and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. User Groups is specific to Seismic and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Seismic 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.

Seismic TiDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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

TiDB Seismic 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 Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
