Why teams connect Starburst Enterprise and Workday

Land the financial records from Workday in Starburst Enterprise continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Organizations, Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence from Workday into tables in Starburst Enterprise in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Starburst Enterprise can be written back to fields in Workday where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Consolidate reads from multiple databases behind a single connection instead of maintaining one integration per source
  • Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Workday arrive in Starburst Enterprise as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Workday's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in Starburst Enterprise for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Starburst Enterprise, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Workday where the finance team can act on them.

What you can sync between Starburst Enterprise 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.

Starburst Enterprise objects Workday objects
Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools.
Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.
Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials.
Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
