Why teams connect Dremio and Dynamo DB

Connect Dynamo DB and Dremio 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 Dremio, 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 Dremio in real time, and result tables in Dremio sync back into Dynamo DB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Publish operational database tables into Iceberg via Dremio so the lakehouse reflects current application state.
  • Consolidate data from multiple lake sources through one Dremio semantic layer into a single warehouse target.
  • Replace ad-hoc export scripts with continuous sync driven by DynamoDB Streams.
  • Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

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

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

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

What you can sync between Dremio 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.

Dremio objects Dynamo DB objects
Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently.
Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs.
Apache Iceberg tables Lakehouse tables supporting DML and snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync.
Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync.
Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes.
Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync.
