Introduction

Stacksync simplifies the process of building Stacksync applications that seamlessly share data with your Salesforce deployment. By enabling two-way synchronization between Salesforce and Postgres, Stacksync harmonizes data stored in your Postgres database with Salesforce's contacts, accounts, and custom objects. All standard and custom objects are supported. Setting up the service is a breeze, thanks to its intuitive no-code user interface – no coding or intricate configuration required.

Creating Apps Spanning your Stack and Salesforce

With your Salesforce data now integrated into Postgres, you can effortlessly leverage the capabilities of the Lightning Platform in conjunction with Stacksync. Applications developed using standard open-source stacks like Rails, Node.js, and Python can connect directly to Postgres and, through Stacksync, establish a seamless link to Salesforce. Crafting apps that extend your data and processes directly to your customers has never been simpler – just write some SQL code.

You can also develop no-code apps using Retool, Appsmith, Softr, Stackr and more without having to worry about the Salesforce API mess anymore.

Connect all your Salesforce tables with your Postgres Database in one click. Choose between one-way or two-way sync!

Introducing Stacksync Real-time and Bidirectional Data Sync

Stacksync enables you to read and write from a Postgres database to update your Salesforce instance in real-time. This creates frictionless data manipulation – including creating, reading, updating, and deleting records.

"This feature enables you to build sophisticated apps while integrating your application data into Salesforce's business processes, ensuring a seamless user experience while maintaining all data in Postgres."

Integration of Various Data Types

Whether it's app data, product data, sensor data, or customer data, Stacksync enables straightforward integration of any Postgres data into Salesforce through a simple point-and-click configuration. This architectural option paves the way for developing engagement apps that deliver unified customer experiences across different business systems. When used alongside databases, Salesforce becomes an integral part of the modern data stack.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a data integration platform?
A data integration platform connects disparate business applications, databases, and services to enable automated data flow between them. Unlike point-to-point integrations that require custom code for each connection, platforms like Stacksync provide pre-built connectors, visual mapping tools, and built-in error handling to synchronize data across your entire tech stack.
How does Stacksync compare to other integration platforms?
Stacksync differentiates through true real-time bidirectional sync with sub-second latency, flat pricing without per-row fees, and zero-persistent-storage security. Unlike batch-oriented ETL tools (Fivetran, Airbyte) or workflow platforms (Workato, MuleSoft), Stacksync is purpose-built for keeping operational systems in continuous alignment without polling or scheduled runs.
What should I look for in a data integration platform?
Key criteria include real-time vs batch sync capability, bidirectional support, connector coverage for your systems, conflict resolution features, security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA), pricing model (per-row vs flat rate), monitoring and alerting, and no-code vs code-required setup. Stacksync offers all these with enterprise-grade reliability.
How much does data integration cost?
Data integration costs vary widely by platform and usage. Traditional middleware (MuleSoft, Boomi) starts at $10,000+ per month. Modern iPaaS tools range from $500 to $5,000 per month depending on volume. Stacksync pricing starts at $1,000 per month based on active sync connections, with no per-row fees or hidden charges for data volume.
Can I integrate legacy systems with Stacksync?
Yes. Stacksync supports legacy databases (SQL Server, Oracle, IBM AS/400), on-premise ERPs, and modern cloud applications. For systems behind firewalls, Stacksync offers SSH tunneling, VPN connectivity, and VPC peering options. This allows you to sync legacy data sources with modern cloud applications without exposing internal systems to the public internet.
