Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Azure Cosmos DB

Keep AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Azure Cosmos DB 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 PostgreSQL and Azure Cosmos DB 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

  • Sync JSONB-heavy application data into structured objects in downstream business systems.
  • Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.
  • Sync CRM or ERP records into a Cosmos DB container that backs a customer-facing application.
  • Mirror Cosmos DB items into Postgres so teams can query operational data with standard SQL.

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 PostgreSQL and Azure Cosmos DB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Azure Cosmos 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.

AWS Aurora PostgreSQL objects Azure Cosmos DB objects
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection.
Primary keys and constraints Identify rows for upserts and enforce integrity on sync writes. Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed.
Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation.
Databases and schemas PostgreSQL's two-level namespace scopes which tables a sync connection targets. Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning.
