Why teams connect 6sense and Amazon DynamoDB

Treat 6sense like part of your database: its records live in Amazon DynamoDB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Amazon DynamoDB, so Amazon DynamoDB always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

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 Amazon DynamoDB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull segment membership into a marketing automation platform to trigger campaigns when accounts enter a segment.
  • 02 Land account-level intent data in a warehouse to join with pipeline data for ABM reporting.
  • 03 Use DynamoDB Streams as a change-data-capture source to push item INSERT, MODIFY, and REMOVE events into a CRM, search index, or operational database in near-real-time.
  • 04 Backfill or migrate records into DynamoDB from another database using BatchWriteItem, then keep the two stores in continuous sync.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the 6sense API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in 6sense arrive as row changes in Amazon DynamoDB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from 6sense become tables in Amazon DynamoDB you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between 6sense and Amazon DynamoDB

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.

6sense objects Amazon DynamoDB objects How this pairing syncs
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Time to Live (TTL) Per-item expiry timestamps; DynamoDB deletes expired items in the background and emits a Streams REMOVE record for each deletion. Segments is specific to 6sense and Time to Live (TTL) to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Tables Top-level containers, each with a partition key and optional sort key; Stacksync syncs a table as a stream of items with full read and write via PutItem, UpdateItem, and DeleteItem. Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and Tables to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Items Individual schemaless records (attributes up to 400 KB each); read with GetItem, Query, and Scan and written with PutItem or BatchWriteItem, so write is supported here. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Items to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) Alternate key projections that let you Query by non-key attributes without a full table Scan; read-only views maintained automatically by DynamoDB. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and Global secondary indexes (GSIs) to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) Extra sort keys within the same partition key, defined at table creation; queried like the base table for alternate access patterns. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Local secondary indexes (LSIs) to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with old/new image views and 24-hour retention; the native change-data-capture source Stacksync reads for near-real-time sync. Accounts is specific to 6sense and DynamoDB Streams to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and Amazon DynamoDB

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

6sense Amazon DynamoDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls 6sense for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon DynamoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Amazon DynamoDB 6sense Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon DynamoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views.

Delivery6sense does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: 6sense's output flows back as field updates on the originating Amazon DynamoDB records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • Amazon DynamoDB: Throughput is metered in read/write capacity units (provisioned or on-demand): 1 WCU = one 1 KB write per second, 1 RCU = one strongly-consistent 4 KB read per second. Exceeding capacity or the ~3,000 RCU / 1,000 WCU per-partition ceiling returns ProvisionedThroughputExceededException with throttling.

Change detection
DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views and 24-hour retention, read via shard iterators (or Kinesis Data Streams for longer retention). No native HTTP webhooks.
