Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and ServiceNow

Mirror ServiceNow'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 ServiceNow 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 Knowledge Articles, Custom Tables, Incidents, Change Requests from ServiceNow into Replication slots and publications, Databases and schemas, Tables, Rows 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 ServiceNow, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Sync sys_user records with the HR system or identity provider so assignment groups stay accurate
  • Mirror incident and task data into Postgres or a warehouse for SLA and workload reporting
  • 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.

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 ServiceNow with a query

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

Automate ServiceNow from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Stacksync propagates the change into ServiceNow, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and ServiceNow

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 ServiceNow objects
Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers.
Databases and schemas PostgreSQL's two-level namespace scopes which tables a sync connection targets. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend.
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Knowledge Articles Support content that can be mirrored to help centers or search indexes.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Custom Tables Scoped or u_-prefixed tables are addressable through the same Table API as standard ones.
