Why teams connect ClickHouse and Dynamo DB

Connect Dynamo DB and ClickHouse with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Dynamo DB's rows in ClickHouse, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Dynamo DB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Dynamo DB sync into ClickHouse in real time, and result tables in ClickHouse sync back into Dynamo DB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • Land product event data alongside synced CRM accounts so analysts join usage and revenue in one place.
  • Mirror SaaS objects into DynamoDB items to serve low-latency lookups from production services.
  • Consolidate multi-region Global Tables data into a single reporting store.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in ClickHouse and keep Dynamo DB focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Dynamo DB land in ClickHouse as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in ClickHouse sync into Dynamo DB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between ClickHouse and Dynamo DB

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.

ClickHouse objects Dynamo DB objects
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync.
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region.
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs.
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync.

How the ClickHouse and Dynamo DB connectors work

ClickHouse

Integration surface
Native TCP protocol and HTTP interface; standard SQL dialect, with MySQL and PostgreSQL wire compatibility available
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password); ClickHouse Cloud issues per-service credentials over TLS
Change detection
No log-based CDC for consumers; incremental reads use polling on monotonic columns, and ClickHouse is usually the destination rather than the source
Capabilities
read · write

Dynamo DB

Integration surface
Proprietary JSON-over-HTTPS API accessed through AWS SDKs; PartiQL supported for SQL-like queries
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 request signing
Change detection
Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode
