description: "Stripe Data Pipeline now supports real-time sync to Postgres, with Databricks Lakebase as a supported destination. Stripe streams real-time API data into Lakebase and manages the sync end to end, eliminating the need for custom integrations with APIs or webhooks that require handlers, retry logic, and reconciliation processes for missed or out-of-order events. One Stripe account can feed two Databricks destinations: Unity Catalog for analytics and AI workloads, and Lakebase for applications. With real-time sync, payment, customer, subscription, refund, and payout data updates arrive in Lakebase within seconds, enabling applications to control product and feature access based on subscription status, keep billing and account details up to date without calling the Stripe API on every page load, and provide real-time financial visibility with dashboards showing daily sales volume, refunds, and payouts as they happen. The feature is available in public preview and free to get started."
