Why teams connect Dynamo DB and TimescaleDB

Keep Dynamo DB and TimescaleDB 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 TimescaleDB 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

  • Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.
  • Mirror SaaS objects into DynamoDB items to serve low-latency lookups from production services.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.

Shared reference data between services

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

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

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

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB objects
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.

How the Dynamo DB and TimescaleDB connectors work

Dynamo DB

Integration surface
Proprietary JSON-over-HTTPS API accessed through AWS SDKs; PartiQL supported for SQL-like queries
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 request signing
Change detection
Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode

TimescaleDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must be remapped to the parent — or timestamp-based polling on time columns; regular Postgres tables replicate through standard logical replication
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
How it works
