Why teams connect Amazon RDS and StarRocks

Connect Amazon RDS and StarRocks 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 RDS's rows in StarRocks, 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 RDS 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 RDS sync into StarRocks in real time, and result tables in StarRocks sync back into Amazon RDS, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Continuously apply upserts from operational databases into Primary Key tables to keep analytics current
  • Serve customer-facing analytics from SaaS data synced into one analytical store
  • 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

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 StarRocks and keep Amazon RDS focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Amazon RDS land in StarRocks as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and StarRocks

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 StarRocks objects
Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows. Tables Defined with a table model (Primary Key, Unique Key, Aggregate, Duplicate Key) that determines update behavior.
Databases Engine-level databases on the instance that scope a sync's reads and writes. Materialized views Automatically maintained rollups used to accelerate queries on synced data.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Views Logical views for shaping analytical reads.
Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Partitions Time or range partitions that scope loads and retention.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Columns Columnar storage with types mapped from source systems during sync.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Databases Top-level namespaces addressed exactly as in MySQL clients.

How the Amazon RDS and StarRocks 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

StarRocks

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL; HTTP-based Stream Load API for ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Query-based polling when reading; StarRocks is most often the destination side of a sync
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas
