Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Braze

Mirror Braze's data into AWS Aurora PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL.

Stacksync mirrors Subscription Groups, Content Blocks, Users, Custom Attributes from Braze into Views and materialized views, Foreign keys, Replication slots and publications, Databases and schemas in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL 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

  • Sync CRM and billing attributes onto Braze user profiles so lifecycle campaigns target accurate plan and status data.
  • Push product usage events from a database or warehouse into Braze to trigger onboarding and retention journeys.
  • Expose ERP records such as customers, orders, and invoices as Postgres tables the engineering team can query and update with plain SQL.
  • Capture row-level changes with logical replication and propagate them to SaaS tools without batch jobs.

React to changes as they happen

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

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Braze with a query

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

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL objects Braze objects
Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting.
Databases and schemas PostgreSQL's two-level namespace scopes which tables a sync connection targets. Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting.
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Subscription Groups Channel-level opt-in states synced with consent records in other systems.
