Data sync

Hourly Stripe to Postgres sync

Pull the last hour of Stripe events into your own database so analytics never hit Stripe's API directly.

Why this exists

Stripe rate-limits aggressive API use. Caching Stripe data locally lets your dashboards and reports run against Postgres instead of Stripe's API. This template fires hourly and triggers a sync endpoint on your backend that pulls new charges, subscriptions, and customer changes since the last run.

Any SaaS that has more than 5 dashboards or reports reading Stripe data. Local cache means fast queries and no rate-limit surprises during a board meeting.

When to use it

Your team reads Stripe data from BI tools, dashboards, or admin panels
You've ever hit a Stripe rate-limit error in production
You want join-able Stripe data alongside your application tables

Common variations

Every 15 minutes for near-real-time dashboards
Daily for low-volume accounts to save on API calls
Parallel jobs per Stripe account if you're multi-tenant

Setup in 4 steps

01Write a sync endpoint that takes a `since` cursor and pulls Stripe events forward
02Store the last successful run timestamp so retries are idempotent
03Use this template — runs hourly, posts the cursor your endpoint expects
04Alert on failure — a stale cache leads to broken finance reports
