Why teams connect Adobeanalytics and Amazon DynamoDB

Give Adobeanalytics the users, events, and records that live in Amazon DynamoDB in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Adobeanalytics computes back into Amazon DynamoDB where your applications read them.

Adobeanalytics 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 Adobeanalytics — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Adobeanalytics is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Amazon DynamoDB into Adobeanalytics usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Dimensions, Metrics, Calculated Metrics, and Segment definitions into a catalog database to document the Adobe Analytics reporting model.
  • 02 Load report data on a schedule into a reporting database for executive dashboards without manual Analysis Workspace exports or Report Builder pulls.
  • 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

Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline

The users, events, orders, and records stored in Amazon DynamoDB land in Adobeanalytics as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

One version of each user or account

A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Adobeanalytics because they sync from Amazon DynamoDB as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

What you can sync between Adobeanalytics 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.

Adobeanalytics objects Amazon DynamoDB objects How this pairing syncs
Date Ranges Saved relative or rolling date ranges, read via GET /dateranges; read as reusable reporting components for report requests. 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. Date Ranges is specific to Adobeanalytics and DynamoDB Streams to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Report Suites Report suite and virtual report suite configuration read via the /collections/suites endpoint; enumerated to list the report suites available to the company. Global Tables Multi-region, active-active replicas of a table kept in sync by DynamoDB; each region is read and written locally with last-writer-wins conflict resolution. Report Suites is specific to Adobeanalytics and Global Tables to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Users in the Analytics company, read via GET /users and /users/me; loaded for access, entitlement, and identity reconciliation reporting. Time to Live (TTL) Per-item expiry timestamps; DynamoDB deletes expired items in the background and emits a Streams REMOVE record for each deletion. Users is specific to Adobeanalytics and Time to Live (TTL) to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage and Access Logs Admin audit and usage logs of report and tool activity, read via the usage/audit-log endpoints; loaded for security, governance, and adoption reporting. 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. Usage and Access Logs is specific to Adobeanalytics and Tables to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Core reporting endpoint (POST /reports on analytics.adobe.io); returns ranked or trended report data for chosen metrics broken down by dimensions over a date range, with optional segment filters. The main dataset Stacksync reads out. 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. Reports is specific to Adobeanalytics and Items to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions Available report dimensions (eVars, props, and standard dimensions) per report suite, read via GET /dimensions; pulled as reporting metadata to build report requests and mirror the model. 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. Dimensions is specific to Adobeanalytics and Global secondary indexes (GSIs) to Amazon DynamoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobeanalytics 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.

Adobeanalytics Amazon DynamoDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Adobeanalytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based over a date range: reports are requested for a from/to window and re-queried on a schedule.

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

Amazon DynamoDB Adobeanalytics 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.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adobeanalytics: The Analytics 2.0 API enforces 12 requests per 6 seconds (about 120 per minute) per user; exceeding it returns HTTP 429 with error_code 429050. A separate per-report-suite reporting-engine throttle can slow large requests without returning an error.
  • 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.

How the Adobeanalytics and Amazon DynamoDB connectors work

Adobeanalytics

Integration surface
Analytics 2.0 REST API on analytics.adobe.io for reporting and components; Data Feeds and Data Warehouse for raw hit-level export; Data Insertion and Bulk Data Insertion (CSV) APIs for inbound server-side collection.
Authentication
OAuth Server-to-Server via the Adobe Developer Console (JWT service-account auth was deprecated January 1, 2025). The company's global company ID is sent in the x-proxy-global-company-id header, and the integration needs at least the Report Suites, Metrics, and Dimensions permission groups.
Change detection
Pull-based over a date range: reports are requested for a from/to window and re-queried on a schedule. No change-data-capture feed or report-data webhooks; Adobe recommends not polling for new data faster than every 30 minutes and caching results.

Amazon DynamoDB

Integration surface
AWS SDK / low-level HTTPS JSON API at dynamodb.<region>.amazonaws.com (PutItem, GetItem, UpdateItem, DeleteItem, Query, Scan, BatchWriteItem, TransactWriteItems), plus PartiQL (ExecuteStatement) for SQL-style access and DynamoDB Streams for change capture.
Authentication
AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) signed requests using an IAM access key ID and secret key, or temporary STS credentials from an assumed IAM role; IAM policies scope access down to table and item level.
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.
