Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL

Keep AWS Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between AWS Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Stream row changes from Aurora into SaaS tools via binlog CDC instead of scheduled batch exports.
  • Sync a production Aurora cluster with an analytics database while filtering out sensitive columns.
  • Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store
  • Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both AWS Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL

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 PostgreSQL objects
Views Can serve as read-only sync sources for derived or filtered datasets. Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution.
Foreign keys Express relationships that syncs preserve when mapping to related objects elsewhere. JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata.
Stored procedures and triggers Existing database logic keeps firing on rows written by a sync. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs.
Databases (schemas) Logical namespaces that scope which tables a sync connection can see. Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields.
Tables The primary sync unit; each table maps one-to-one to a table or object in the paired system. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted individually or in bulk during two-way syncs. Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync.
