The Challenge
Business Problem
Business data lives in multiple systems (CRM, billing, support) that fall out of sync. Sales sees stale customer data, support doesn't know about recent purchases, and billing has wrong addresses.
The Approach
Solution Overview
Connect Salesforce, Stripe, and PostgreSQL MCP Servers to create a real-time sync fabric that propagates changes across systems within seconds.
Step-by-Step
Implementation Steps
1
Identify Sync Entities
Map the data entities that need to stay in sync: customers, orders, subscriptions.
2
Build Change Listeners
Set up webhooks and polling on each system to detect changes.
3
Implement Sync Logic
Create bidirectional sync with conflict resolution and idempotent updates.
async function syncCustomerUpdate(event) {
const customer = event.data;
await Promise.all([
salesforce.updateContact({ id: customer.sfId, email: customer.email, name: customer.name }),
stripe.updateCustomer({ id: customer.stripeId, email: customer.email }),
postgres.query('UPDATE customers SET email=$1, name=$2 WHERE id=$3', [customer.email, customer.name, customer.id])
]);
}4
Handle Conflicts
Implement last-write-wins or merge strategies for conflicting updates.
Code
Code Examples
typescript
Conflict Resolution
function resolveConflict(local, remote) {
if (remote.updatedAt > local.updatedAt) return remote;
if (local.updatedAt > remote.updatedAt) return local;
return { ...local, ...remote, updatedAt: new Date() }; // merge
