Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Neo4j

Keep Dynamo DB and Neo4j 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 Neo4j 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

  • 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.
  • Sync product catalog and order history into Neo4j to power recommendation queries.
  • Feed identity and access data into a graph for entitlement and blast-radius analysis.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Dynamo DB and Neo4j, 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 Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes.
Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model.
