Myth 1: Does Kombo store data?

​
Answer

Yes. Kombo stores data to deliver faster API responses, critical features like filtering, change tracking, deletion tracking, and reliability during upstream outages. This approach has become the preferred option for companies connecting enterprise clients with high-volume, fast-moving data.

​
Why this matters

  • Performance: Kombo uses local caches and “updated-after” timestamps to fetch only what changed since the last sync. Customers avoid building complex caching logic and reduce infrastructure load by up to 95%.
  • Advanced features: Cached data powers real-time webhooks, multi-field filtering, comprehensive change and deletion tracking, and detailed error reporting during syncs to identify issues quickly.
  • Resilience: If upstream systems like Workday or BambooHR experience outages, Kombo continues to serve the latest cached data. Applications keep running while Kombo retries in the background.

Answer

Yes, Kombo combines native webhooks where supported with high-frequency delta syncs for systems that don’t offer webhooks.
