Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from Dynamo DB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS) from Workday into Tables, Items, Attributes, Partition and Sort Keys in Dynamo DB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Dynamo DB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • 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.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Dynamo DB propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in Dynamo DB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in Dynamo DB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Workday

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 Workday objects
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
