Why teams connect Amazon Aurora and Asana

Mirror Asana's data into Amazon Aurora so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Asana through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Amazon Aurora.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Portfolios, Tags, Teams / Workspaces from Asana into Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Columns and Data Types in Amazon Aurora and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Asana, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
  • 02 Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom fields between an Asana project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Asana.
  • 03 Offload sync reads to Aurora reader endpoints to avoid load on the writer instance.
  • 04 Two-way sync between Aurora application tables and a CRM so product data and account data stay consistent.

Common sync patterns

Automate Asana from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Amazon Aurora and Stacksync propagates the change into Asana, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Asana arrive as row changes in Amazon Aurora, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Amazon Aurora and Asana

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.

Amazon Aurora objects Asana objects How this pairing syncs
Primary and Foreign Keys Constraints used to identify records and preserve relational integrity in syncs. Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Primary and Foreign Keys is specific to Amazon Aurora and Stories to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Read Replicas Reader endpoints that syncs can target to keep load off the writer. Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Users to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases within a cluster that scope a sync connection. Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). Databases is specific to Amazon Aurora and Portfolios to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces (PostgreSQL) or database-level grouping (MySQL) used in table selection. Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. Schemas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Tags to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables synced bi-directionally at row level. Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Tables is specific to Amazon Aurora and Teams / Workspaces to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only query-backed sources for downstream syncs. Tasks The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via REST and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks with a parent reference. Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Tasks to Asana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Aurora and Asana

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.

Amazon Aurora Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon Aurora are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC: binlog on MySQL-compatible clusters, logical replication/decoding on PostgreSQL-compatible clusters.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Asana through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Asana Amazon Aurora Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon Aurora: No API rate limits for wire-protocol access; throughput is bounded by instance class and connection limits.
  • Asana: Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.
