Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Salesforce

Treat Salesforce like part of your database: its records live in Dynamo DB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Dynamo DB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Objects, Accounts, Contacts, Leads from Salesforce into Items, Attributes, Partition and Sort Keys, Global Secondary Indexes in Dynamo DB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Salesforce with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Trigger provisioning or billing changes in an operational database when an Opportunity moves to closed-won.
  • Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.
  • Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Dynamo DB sync onto the matching records in Salesforce, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Salesforce API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Salesforce arrive as row changes in Dynamo DB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Salesforce

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 Salesforce objects
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Products and Price Books Catalog and pricing data; commonly mastered in an ERP and written into Salesforce.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines.
