Why teams connect Anaplan and Dynamo DB

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from Dynamo DB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Processes, Cell Data, Models, Modules from Anaplan into Tables, Items, Attributes, Partition and Sort Keys in Dynamo DB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Dynamo DB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Anaplan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Load actuals from an ERP or warehouse into Anaplan modules so forecasts start from current financials.
  • Sync CRM pipeline data into Anaplan for sales capacity and quota planning.
  • Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.
  • Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Anaplan live in Dynamo DB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Dynamo DB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Dynamo DB propagate into Anaplan, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Anaplan 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.

Anaplan objects Dynamo DB objects
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes.

How the Anaplan and Dynamo DB connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

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
How it works
