Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and Salesforce

Treat Salesforce like part of your database: its records live in AWS Aurora MySQL as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in AWS Aurora MySQL, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Cases, Campaigns, Tasks and Events, Products and Price Books from Salesforce into Stored procedures and triggers, Databases (schemas), Tables, Rows in AWS Aurora MySQL with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Salesforce with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • Let operations teams edit records in a spreadsheet-style tool with changes written back to Aurora safely.
  • Give backend services read and write access to ERP or billing data by syncing it into Aurora tables the application already queries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Salesforce arrive as row changes in AWS Aurora MySQL, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Salesforce become tables in AWS Aurora MySQL you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to AWS Aurora MySQL sync onto the matching records in Salesforce, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL and Salesforce

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 Salesforce objects
Views Can serve as read-only sync sources for derived or filtered datasets. Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse.
Foreign keys Express relationships that syncs preserve when mapping to related objects elsewhere. Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting.
Stored procedures and triggers Existing database logic keeps firing on rows written by a sync. Products and Price Books Catalog and pricing data; commonly mastered in an ERP and written into Salesforce.
Databases (schemas) Logical namespaces that scope which tables a sync connection can see. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated.
Tables The primary sync unit; each table maps one-to-one to a table or object in the paired system. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted individually or in bulk during two-way syncs. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
