Why teams connect Dynamo DB and GitHub

Mirror GitHub's data into Dynamo DB 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 GitHub 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 Dynamo DB.

Stacksync mirrors Workflow runs (Actions), Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones from GitHub into DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables, Items in Dynamo DB 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 GitHub, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.
  • Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
  • 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.

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 GitHub with a query

Records from GitHub are ordinary rows in Dynamo DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate GitHub from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Dynamo DB and Stacksync propagates the change into GitHub, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and GitHub

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.

Dynamo DB objects GitHub objects
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews.
Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories.
What ships with Dynamo DB ⇄ GitHub

How it works

How to connect Dynamo DB to GitHub — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Dynamo DB and GitHub with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
