Why teams connect Actian Vector and Amazon RDS

Connect Amazon RDS and Actian Vector with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Amazon RDS's rows in Actian Vector, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Amazon RDS where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Amazon RDS sync into Actian Vector in real time, and result tables in Actian Vector sync back into Amazon RDS, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from several source systems into one Vector database for BI dashboards.
  • 02 Load operational data from CRMs and ERPs into Actian Vector tables for analytical queries.
  • 03 Mirror SaaS objects into RDS tables so product features can join business data with application data in one query
  • 04 Keep an RDS reporting database hydrated from operational tools without maintaining ETL jobs

Common sync patterns

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Actian Vector sync into Amazon RDS, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Actian Vector and keep Amazon RDS focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between Actian Vector and Amazon RDS

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.

Actian Vector objects Amazon RDS objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Top-level containers targeted by a sync connection. Databases Engine-level databases on the instance that scope a sync's reads and writes. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced tables. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Tables Columnar tables that serve as sync sources or destinations. Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views SQL views readable as query-backed sync sources. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Columns Typed columns mapped field-by-field during schema mapping. Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Columns is specific to Actian Vector and Columns to Amazon RDS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Roles Database principals used to grant the sync connection least-privilege access. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Users and Roles is specific to Actian Vector and Primary and Unique Keys to Amazon RDS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Actian Vector and Amazon RDS

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.

Actian Vector Amazon RDS Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Actian Vector for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or key columns.

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

Amazon RDS Actian Vector Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon RDS are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Engine-native log-based CDC: MySQL/MariaDB binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server CDC.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Actian Vector: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput depends on cluster resources and query concurrency.
  • Amazon RDS: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance class, storage IOPS, and connection limits.
