Why teams connect TimescaleDB and YugabyteDB

Keep TimescaleDB and YugabyteDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between TimescaleDB and YugabyteDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.
  • 02 Sync product or IoT telemetry stored in TimescaleDB into a CRM so account teams see usage metrics next to the customer record.
  • 03 Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.
  • 04 Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.

Common sync patterns

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between TimescaleDB 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.

TimescaleDB objects YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Continuous Aggregates is specific to TimescaleDB and Tables to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Regular PostgreSQL Tables is specific to TimescaleDB and Indexes to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. Views is specific to TimescaleDB and Materialized Views to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Hypertables is specific to TimescaleDB and Sequences to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. Chunks is specific to TimescaleDB and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between TimescaleDB 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.

TimescaleDB YugabyteDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.

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

YugabyteDB TimescaleDB 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 applied to TimescaleDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
