Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and CockroachDB

Keep AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and CockroachDB 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 CockroachDB 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

  • Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.
  • Feed operational dashboards from a read replica while the writer handles sync traffic.
  • Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.
  • Consolidate data from several SaaS tools into one distributed SQL store that survives zone failures.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and CockroachDB, 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.

Shared reference data between services

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

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and CockroachDB

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 CockroachDB objects
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables.
Databases and schemas PostgreSQL's two-level namespace scopes which tables a sync connection targets. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases.
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns.
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system.
