Why teams connect Amazon Redshift and Dynamo DB

Connect Dynamo DB and Amazon Redshift 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 Dynamo DB's rows in Amazon Redshift, 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 Dynamo DB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Dynamo DB sync into Amazon Redshift in real time, and result tables in Amazon Redshift sync back into Dynamo DB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Feed customer 360 tables built in Redshift to support and success platforms.
  • Centralize CRM, ERP, and product data in Redshift so analysts join it with warehouse tables.
  • Replace ad-hoc export scripts with continuous sync driven by DynamoDB Streams.
  • Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Amazon Redshift and keep Dynamo DB focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Dynamo DB land in Amazon Redshift as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Amazon Redshift sync into Dynamo DB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between Amazon Redshift and Dynamo 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 Redshift objects Dynamo DB objects
External Tables (Spectrum) S3-backed tables queryable through Redshift, readable in syncs. Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently.
Stored Procedures SQL procedures sometimes invoked around load steps. Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs.
Users and Groups Principals used to grant a sync connection scoped access. Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync.
Databases Top-level containers within a cluster or serverless workgroup. Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync.
Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced tables and control grants. Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes.
Tables Columnar tables used as sync destinations for SaaS and database data. DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync.

How the Amazon Redshift and Dynamo DB connectors work

Amazon Redshift

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC (PostgreSQL-derived protocol); Redshift Data API over HTTPS
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM-based authentication
Change detection
Polling or query-based diffing; Redshift does not expose a transaction log for external CDC consumers
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Bounded by cluster or serverless capacity and concurrency settings rather than API quotas

Dynamo DB

Integration surface
Proprietary JSON-over-HTTPS API accessed through AWS SDKs; PartiQL supported for SQL-like queries
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 request signing
Change detection
Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode
