Why teams connect Dynamo DB and IBM Db2

Keep Dynamo DB and IBM Db2 synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Dynamo DB and IBM Db2 continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 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.
  • Feed changes captured from Db2 logs into downstream event pipelines.
  • Expose Db2 records that back core business systems to a CRM so sales and support see order or account state.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Dynamo DB and IBM Db2, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and IBM Db2

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 IBM Db2 objects
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses.
Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns.
