Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Azure Cosmos DB

Keep Amazon RDS and Azure Cosmos DB 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 RDS and Azure Cosmos DB 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

  • Mirror SaaS objects into RDS tables so product features can join business data with application data in one query
  • Keep an RDS reporting database hydrated from operational tools without maintaining ETL jobs
  • Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.

Shared reference data between services

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

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 RDS and Azure Cosmos DB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Azure Cosmos DB

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 RDS objects Azure Cosmos DB objects
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning.
Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync.
Read Replicas Low-impact read endpoints often used as the source side of a sync. Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation.

How the Amazon RDS and Azure Cosmos DB connectors work

Amazon RDS

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol of the chosen engine (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle)
Authentication
Database credentials over SSL/TLS, or IAM database authentication on supported engines
Change detection
Engine-native log-based CDC: MySQL/MariaDB binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server CDC; enabled through RDS parameter groups, with polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance class, storage IOPS, and connection limits

Azure Cosmos DB

Integration surface
REST API and SDKs over HTTPS (API for NoSQL, formerly the SQL API); also MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table API surfaces
Authentication
Account keys, resource tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID role-based access
Change detection
Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range
Capabilities
