Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and Braze

Mirror Braze's data into AWS Aurora MySQL 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 Braze 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 AWS Aurora MySQL.

Stacksync mirrors Content Blocks, Users, Custom Attributes, Custom Events from Braze into Tables, Rows, Columns, Primary keys and indexes in AWS Aurora MySQL 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 Braze, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Push product usage events from a database or warehouse into Braze to trigger onboarding and retention journeys.
  • Keep subscription and consent states consistent between Braze subscription groups and the CRM or CDP of record.
  • Sync a production Aurora cluster with an analytics database while filtering out sensitive columns.
  • Let operations teams edit records in a spreadsheet-style tool with changes written back to Aurora safely.

Read Braze with a query

Records from Braze are ordinary rows in AWS Aurora MySQL; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Braze from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in AWS Aurora MySQL and Stacksync propagates the change into Braze, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Braze arrive as row changes in AWS Aurora MySQL, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL and Braze

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.

AWS Aurora MySQL objects Braze objects
Primary keys and indexes Used to match rows across systems and keep incremental syncs efficient. Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis.
Views Can serve as read-only sync sources for derived or filtered datasets. Subscription Groups Channel-level opt-in states synced with consent records in other systems.
Foreign keys Express relationships that syncs preserve when mapping to related objects elsewhere. Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns.
Stored procedures and triggers Existing database logic keeps firing on rows written by a sync. Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target.
Databases (schemas) Logical namespaces that scope which tables a sync connection can see. Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization.
Tables The primary sync unit; each table maps one-to-one to a table or object in the paired system. Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases.
