Why teams connect TiDB and Twitter Ads

Give your team Twitter Ads's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in TiDB: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Twitter Ads, and skip the marketing API.

Twitter Ads holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in TiDB, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Campaigns, Line Items, Promoted Tweets, Custom Audiences from Twitter Ads into Columns, Indexes, Sequences, Databases in TiDB field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in TiDB, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Twitter Ads to drive campaigns and ads, with Twitter Ads kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • 02 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 03 Pause or update Promoted Tweets and Line Items automatically when an upstream system such as budget pacing or inventory flags a rule breach.
  • 04 Push Campaigns and Line Items from a planning database or spreadsheet into X Ads so media buyers manage budgets, bids, and targeting without hand-entering each one in Ads Manager.

Common sync patterns

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

Query Twitter Ads like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Twitter Ads live in TiDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in TiDB from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Twitter Ads as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

What you can sync between TiDB and Twitter Ads

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.

TiDB objects Twitter Ads objects How this pairing syncs
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Campaigns Schedule and budget container; synced two-way to create and update daily/total budgets and run dates from a planning database or spreadsheet. Indexes is specific to TiDB and Campaigns to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Line Items Ad groups holding the per-engagement bid, promoted entity, and targeting; written to set bids and targeting, read for account structure. Sequences is specific to TiDB and Line Items to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Promoted Tweets Tweets promoted under a line item; created, paused, or updated through the API and read back for delivery status. Databases is specific to TiDB and Promoted Tweets to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Custom Audiences Match lists (formerly Tailored Audiences); written by uploading hashed emails or device IDs from a CRM or warehouse segment for retargeting and suppression. Tables is specific to TiDB and Custom Audiences to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Targeting Criteria Location, keyword, interest, and device rules attached to line items; read and written to adjust who a line item reaches. Views is specific to TiDB and Targeting Criteria to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Funding Instruments Budget source (credit card, credit line, insertion order); read-only in the API and provisioned by an X account manager, referenced by campaigns. Columns is specific to TiDB and Funding Instruments to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between TiDB and Twitter Ads

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.

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

Twitter Ads TiDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Twitter Ads for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling only — the Ads API has no webhooks or change-data-capture.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
  • Twitter Ads: Per-endpoint 15-minute windows exposed via x-rate-limit-remaining and x-rate-limit-reset headers; asynchronous analytics is capped by concurrent jobs per account and covers up to 90 days per request.
