Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Front

Mirror Front'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 Front 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 Teammates, Channels, Conversations, Messages from Front into Read Replicas, Stored Procedures, Databases, Schemas 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 Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • 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

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 Front with a query

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

Automate Front from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Amazon RDS and Stacksync propagates the change into Front, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Front

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 Front objects
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics.
Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting.
Read Replicas Low-impact read endpoints often used as the source side of a sync. Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs.

How the Amazon RDS and Front 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

Front

Integration surface
REST API (Core API)
Authentication
OAuth authorization via the Stacksync UI ("Connections" > "create new connection" > "Front" > "Authorize") — no coding required
Change detection
Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Request limits vary by plan.
