Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku
Keep Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku 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
- Push cleaned or enriched records from central systems back into the Lightsail database behind a small web app.
- Migrate data continuously from a Lightsail database to a larger managed database as an application outgrows the VPS tier.
- Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
- Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows
Regional or environment copies
Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.
Cross-engine sync
Keep the same dataset live in both Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku, 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.
What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku
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 | Postgres Heroku objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. | Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. | |
| Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. | Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. | |
| Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. | Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | |
| Views Query-backed read-only sources. | Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. | |
| Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | |
| Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. |

How the Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku 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
Postgres Heroku
- Integration surface
- SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL)
- Authentication
- Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required
- Change detection
- Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings
- Capabilities
- read · write
- Rate limits
- No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan

FAQ
Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Amazon Lightsail's Databases and Schemas), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Amazon Lightsail–Postgres Heroku integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Amazon Lightsail and Postgres Heroku. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Amazon Lightsail: Polling on timestamp or key columns; log-based CDC depends on engine parameter access, which is more limited than on full RDS. On Postgres Heroku: Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Amazon Lightsail side: Schemas, Tables, Views, Users and Grants, plus custom fields where Amazon Lightsail exposes them. On the Postgres Heroku side: Follower Databases, Tables, Views, Materialized Views. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
