Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Materialize

Connect Amazon Lightsail and Materialize with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Amazon Lightsail's rows in Materialize, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Amazon Lightsail where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Amazon Lightsail sync into Materialize in real time, and result tables in Materialize sync back into Amazon Lightsail, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Bridge streaming sources and non-streaming destinations by materializing joins across both.
  • Sync operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.
  • Migrate data continuously from a Lightsail database to a larger managed database as an application outgrows the VPS tier.
  • Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Materialize sync into Amazon Lightsail, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Materialize and keep Amazon Lightsail focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Materialize

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 Materialize objects
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics.
Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Indexes In-memory arrangements that make view reads fast for serving workloads.
Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks.

How the Amazon Lightsail and Materialize 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

Materialize

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password; app passwords in the managed cloud service)
Change detection
SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client
Capabilities
