Why teams connect Affinity and Amazon RDS

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

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

Stacksync mirrors Field Values, Notes, Interactions, Reminders from Affinity into Schemas, Tables, Views, Columns in Amazon RDS with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Affinity with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.
  • Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • Bi-directional sync between an RDS database and a CRM so application data and sales data stay consistent without custom integration code
  • Mirror SaaS objects into RDS tables so product features can join business data with application data in one query

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Affinity become tables in Amazon RDS you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Amazon RDS sync onto the matching records in Affinity, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

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

What you can sync between Affinity 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.

Affinity objects Amazon RDS objects
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts.
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Read Replicas Low-impact read endpoints often used as the source side of a sync.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows.
