Why teams connect Amazon Aurora and SendGrid

Mirror SendGrid's data into Amazon Aurora so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like SendGrid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Amazon Aurora.

Stacksync mirrors Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity, Contacts, List from SendGrid into Read Replicas, Databases, Schemas, Tables in Amazon Aurora and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into SendGrid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Reconcile transactional email activity with support tickets so agents see what a customer was sent
  • Sync CRM contacts and their custom fields into SendGrid lists so campaign targeting reflects live sales data
  • Offload sync reads to Aurora reader endpoints to avoid load on the writer instance.
  • Two-way sync between Aurora application tables and a CRM so product data and account data stay consistent.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read SendGrid with a query

Records from SendGrid are ordinary rows in Amazon Aurora; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate SendGrid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Amazon Aurora and Stacksync propagates the change into SendGrid, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Amazon Aurora and SendGrid

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Amazon Aurora objects SendGrid objects
Views Read-only query-backed sources for downstream syncs. Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets (PostgreSQL-compatible clusters) readable as sources. List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Columns and Data Types Standard MySQL or PostgreSQL types mapped during field mapping. Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields.
Primary and Foreign Keys Constraints used to identify records and preserve relational integrity in syncs. Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Read Replicas Reader endpoints that syncs can target to keep load off the writer. Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Databases Logical databases within a cluster that scope a sync connection. Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting.

How the Amazon Aurora and SendGrid connectors work

Amazon Aurora

Integration surface
MySQL or PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL); optional RDS Data API over HTTPS
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM database authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC: binlog on MySQL-compatible clusters, logical replication/decoding on PostgreSQL-compatible clusters; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits for wire-protocol access; throughput is bounded by instance class and connection limits

SendGrid

Integration surface
REST API (v3)
Authentication
API key (create in SendGrid Settings > API Keys with Custom Access / Full Access for the objects to sync; key begins with "SG")
Change detection
Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint; contact and list changes are detected by polling
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes
