Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Apache Cassandra

Keep Amazon Lightsail and Apache Cassandra synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Amazon Lightsail and Apache Cassandra continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.
  • Push cleaned or enriched records from central systems back into the Lightsail database behind a small web app.
  • Sync customer profile data between Cassandra and a CRM so operational apps and sales tools agree.
  • Write attributes computed elsewhere (scores, preferences) back into Cassandra tables serving low-latency reads.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Amazon Lightsail and Apache Cassandra, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Apache Cassandra

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 Lightsail objects Apache Cassandra objects
Views Query-backed read-only sources. User-Defined Types Composite column types that syncs must flatten or map to structured fields.
Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping.
Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Tables Wide-column tables addressed by partition key, the unit of row-level sync.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Partitions and Rows Records located by partition and clustering keys during reads and upserts.

How the Amazon Lightsail and Apache Cassandra connectors work

Amazon Lightsail

Integration surface
MySQL or PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL) to the managed database endpoint
Authentication
Database credentials; public endpoint access must be enabled or a tunnel used
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or key columns; log-based CDC depends on engine parameter access, which is more limited than on full RDS
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle

Apache Cassandra

Integration surface
CQL over the Cassandra native binary protocol
Authentication
Database credentials (password authenticator); TLS and role-based grants where configured
Change detection
Commit-log based CDC on tables with CDC enabled, or polling using writetime metadata and timestamp columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API quotas; throughput is governed by cluster capacity and consistency-level choices
How it works

How to connect Amazon Lightsail to Apache Cassandra — three steps, no code
