Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Customer.io

Mirror Customer.io's data into Amazon RDS so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Customer.io through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Amazon RDS.

Stacksync mirrors Broadcasts, Deliveries / Messages, Newsletters, People from Customer.io into Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, Read Replicas, Stored Procedures in Amazon RDS and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Customer.io, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Keep unsubscribe and subscription-preference state consistent between Customer.io and the CRM to avoid compliance gaps.
  • Sync account-level objects and their person relationships for B2B messaging keyed to company attributes.
  • Use a read replica as the sync source to keep change capture load off the primary instance
  • Bi-directional sync between an RDS database and a CRM so application data and sales data stay consistent without custom integration code

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Customer.io arrive as row changes in Amazon RDS, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Customer.io with a query

Records from Customer.io are ordinary rows in Amazon RDS; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Customer.io

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 Customer.io objects
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Deliveries / Messages Per-recipient message records whose lifecycle events flow out through reporting webhooks.
Read Replicas Low-impact read endpoints often used as the source side of a sync. Newsletters Recurring email sends with performance metrics available for reporting syncs.
Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows. People Profiles with attributes, matched on identifiers like id or email; the main write target of data syncs.
Databases Engine-level databases on the instance that scope a sync's reads and writes. Objects Non-person entities such as accounts or companies, related to people for account-level messaging.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Events Behavioral events sent via the Track API that trigger campaigns.
Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Segments Attribute- or event-based groups; data syncs feed the attributes segments evaluate.

How the Amazon RDS and Customer.io 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

Customer.io

Integration surface
REST APIs split by purpose: Track API for data ingestion, App API for campaigns, people lookups, and messages
Authentication
Basic auth with site ID and API key for the Track API; bearer token for the App API
Change detection
Reporting webhooks push message and delivery events; person attribute changes are not streamed and require source-side detection
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to per-API rate limits documented by Customer.io
