Why teams connect Dynamo DB and ServiceNow

Mirror ServiceNow'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 ServiceNow 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 Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB), Users and Groups from ServiceNow into Partition and Sort Keys, Global Secondary Indexes, DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables 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 ServiceNow, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Bi-directional sync of incidents with engineering issue trackers so IT and engineering work the same ticket without re-keying
  • Keep CMDB configuration items aligned with asset inventories and cloud resource databases
  • 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 ServiceNow with a query

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

Automate ServiceNow from your codebase

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

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and ServiceNow

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 ServiceNow objects
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Knowledge Articles Support content that can be mirrored to help centers or search indexes.
Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Custom Tables Scoped or u_-prefixed tables are addressable through the same Table API as standard ones.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Incidents The core ITSM ticket; commonly synced with engineering trackers and CRMs.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
