Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Drift

Treat Drift like part of your database: its records live in Amazon Lightsail as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Amazon Lightsail, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Meetings, Contacts, Conversations, Messages from Drift into Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Lightsail with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Drift with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Enrich Drift contact and account records with firmographic or product data from an internal database to sharpen playbook targeting.
  • Sync meetings booked in Drift to CRM activities so pipeline attribution stays accurate.
  • 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.
