Why teams connect Success Factors and YugabyteDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: YugabyteDB 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. YugabyteDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: EmpJob, EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position in Success Factors need to exist as queryable Tables, Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas in YugabyteDB 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 Tables, Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas in YugabyteDB with EmpJob, EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position 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 Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.
  • 02 Sync reference data such as pricing or entitlements from an ERP into YugabyteDB for globally distributed low-latency reads.
  • 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

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in YugabyteDB 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 Tables, Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas in YugabyteDB, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

What you can sync between Success Factors and YugabyteDB

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.

Success Factors objects YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. Position is specific to Success Factors and Materialized Views to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. PerEmail and PerPhone is specific to Success Factors and Schemas to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. User is specific to Success Factors and Sequences to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. PerPerson is specific to Success Factors and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. EmpEmployment is specific to Success Factors and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. EmpJob is specific to Success Factors and Tables to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Success Factors and YugabyteDB

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.

Success Factors YugabyteDB 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 YugabyteDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

YugabyteDB Success Factors Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
