Proposed workflow

Metric or analytical result reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving the proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB or Pigment Metrics needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with the proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB and Pigment Metrics. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Resolve entity keys, time zones, aggregation grain, and any currency/unit conversions.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyCompare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

Reporting dataset

Proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Metrics

Plan a metric or analytical result dataset while preserving its source meaning.

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Amazon DynamoDB
Your database schema
Pigment
Object support to establish
Record identity
Identify a metric by definition/version, dimensions, time window, and entity key.
Field ownership
The analytical model owns the computation; operational systems should receive only approved outputs with freshness context.

Fields to include

  • Metric definition
  • Entity reference
  • Time window
  • Value
  • Computed-at time
Record dependencies
Resolve entity keys, time zones, aggregation grain, and any currency/unit conversions.
Validation
Compare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.
Recovery
Recompute the intended window before retrying an output; avoid overwriting a newer result with an older computation.

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Metrics to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Identify a metric by definition/version, dimensions, time window, and entity key. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Amazon DynamoDB and Pigment record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Metrics, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Amazon DynamoDB and Pigment need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Amazon DynamoDB / Pigment migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Metric or analytical result reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) or Metrics record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon DynamoDB Proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and Pigment Metrics. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve entity keys, time zones, aggregation grain, and any currency/unit conversions.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Compare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

If it fails: Recompute the intended window before retrying an output; avoid overwriting a newer result with an older computation.

Reconcile Pigment business records with Amazon DynamoDB

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: A finance-owned record in Pigment needs operational visibility through Items.

  1. Select Metrics with the correct legal entity, period, and currency.
  2. Define a reporting relationship in Amazon DynamoDB; do not equate customer records, ledger accounts, and posted transactions.
  3. Decide whether the process only reports a financial state or requests an approved accounting action, and maintain a separate transaction ID for each action.

Expected result: Totals reconcile within the same entity/currency/window; a repeated handoff creates no duplicate financial transaction.

If it fails: Verify posting and settlement state before retrying. Use the approved adjustment path for already-posted transactions.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Metrics

Test case

Compare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

Expected result

The expected metric or analytical result relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failed updates, retries and recovery

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated metric or analytical result change

Investigate

Inspect Amazon DynamoDB Proposed metric or analytical result table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and Pigment Metrics, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Recompute the intended window before retrying an output; avoid overwriting a newer result with an older computation.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Amazon DynamoDB and Pigment connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
