Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from AWS Aurora MySQL: 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 Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation from Workday into Columns, Primary keys and indexes, Views, Foreign keys in AWS Aurora MySQL and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against AWS Aurora MySQL, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • 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.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on AWS Aurora MySQL; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Workday.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in AWS Aurora MySQL propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in AWS Aurora MySQL as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL and Workday

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 Workday objects
Foreign keys Express relationships that syncs preserve when mapping to related objects elsewhere. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Stored procedures and triggers Existing database logic keeps firing on rows written by a sync. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Databases (schemas) Logical namespaces that scope which tables a sync connection can see. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Tables The primary sync unit; each table maps one-to-one to a table or object in the paired system. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted individually or in bulk during two-way syncs. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Columns MySQL data types are mapped to the paired system's field types during schema setup. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
