Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from AWS Aurora PostgreSQL: 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 Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS) from Workday into Foreign keys, Replication slots and publications, Databases and schemas, Tables in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, 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

  • Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Capture row-level changes with logical replication and propagate them to SaaS tools without batch jobs.
  • Sync JSONB-heavy application data into structured objects in downstream business systems.

React to financial events

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

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

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

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL objects Workday objects
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Primary keys and constraints Identify rows for upserts and enforce integrity on sync writes. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.
Databases and schemas PostgreSQL's two-level namespace scopes which tables a sync connection targets. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials.
