Why teams connect AWS S3 and Greenplum

Keep tables consistent across AWS S3 and Greenplum, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between AWS S3 and Greenplum continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • Archive change history from ongoing syncs as timestamped files for audit and replay.
  • Ingest partner or vendor file drops (CSV, JSON, Parquet) from a bucket into a database or CRM as records.
  • Consolidate data from multiple source systems into partitioned Greenplum fact tables.
  • Load operational data from CRMs, ERPs, and production databases into Greenplum for MPP analytics.

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

Shared datasets across teams

Where different teams run different warehouses, sync the curated tables both rely on so their metrics agree by construction.

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

What you can sync between AWS S3 and Greenplum

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 S3 objects Greenplum objects
Buckets Top-level containers a sync targets; region and policy are set at this level. Views Read-only projections used to shape data before syncing it out.
Objects The stored files (CSV, JSON, Parquet); syncs read them as datasets or write exports into them. External tables Reference external files for bulk load paths alongside row-level syncs.
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. Rows Read and written by key; distribution keys determine where rows live.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection.
Object Versions Prior copies retained when versioning is enabled, relevant for reprocessing. Schemas Namespace tables and control which objects a sync can see.
Event Notifications Notifications on object creation or deletion that trigger incremental processing. Tables Heap or append-optimized tables mapped directly to sync targets.

How the AWS S3 and Greenplum connectors work

AWS S3

Integration surface
REST API (the S3 API), accessed directly or through AWS SDKs
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 signing; commonly a role scoped to specific buckets and prefixes
Change detection
S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge; list-based polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes

Greenplum

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol (libpq), plus JDBC/ODBC drivers
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling with timestamp or key-based cursors; Greenplum does not expose logical-decoding CDC
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Bounded by cluster resources and concurrency settings rather than an API quota.
