Why teams connect Amazon Aurora and Eloqua

Give your team Eloqua's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in Amazon Aurora: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Eloqua, and skip the marketing API.

Eloqua holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in Amazon Aurora, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Forms and Form Submits, Contact Lists and Segments, Contacts, Accounts from Eloqua into Primary and Foreign Keys, Read Replicas, Databases, Schemas in Amazon Aurora field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in Amazon Aurora, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Eloqua to drive campaigns and ads, with Eloqua kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate several Aurora clusters into one reporting database.
  • 02 Write enriched or scored records from analytics pipelines back into the Aurora tables that power an application.
  • 03 Export email opens, clicks, form submits, and bounces from the Bulk API Activities export into a warehouse for lead scoring and multi-touch attribution.
  • 04 Load purchase or product-usage records into Custom Data Objects linked to Contacts so nurture campaigns branch on behavior mastered in another system.

Common sync patterns

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Eloqua arrives as a row change in Amazon Aurora, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

Query Eloqua like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Eloqua live in Amazon Aurora as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Amazon Aurora and Eloqua

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 Eloqua objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces (PostgreSQL) or database-level grouping (MySQL) used in table selection. Contacts Core person records, keyed on email address as the unique identifier; imported/exported via the Bulk API and upserted on email, synced two-way with CRM, warehouse, and app databases. Schemas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Contacts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables synced bi-directionally at row level. Accounts Company records linked to Contacts via the account-linkage field; moved through the Bulk API and typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Eloqua. Tables is specific to Amazon Aurora and Accounts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only query-backed sources for downstream syncs. Custom Data Objects Auxiliary data tables (CDOs) linked to Contacts for records like event registrations or purchases; synced via the Bulk API so nurture campaigns can branch on them. Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Custom Data Objects to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets (PostgreSQL-compatible clusters) readable as sources. Activities Engagement events (email opens, clicks, form submits, bounces, page views, subscribes/unsubscribes) exported through the Bulk API activities export; read-only feed for scoring and attribution. Materialized Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Activities to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns and Data Types Standard MySQL or PostgreSQL types mapped during field mapping. Campaigns Multi-step campaign-canvas assets managed through the Application REST API; campaign membership and response data read out for attribution reporting. Columns and Data Types is specific to Amazon Aurora and Campaigns to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Foreign Keys Constraints used to identify records and preserve relational integrity in syncs. Emails Email creative and email-group assets managed via the Application REST API; usually read for reporting rather than written by a sync. Primary and Foreign Keys is specific to Amazon Aurora and Emails to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Aurora and Eloqua

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 Eloqua 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 Eloqua through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Eloqua Amazon Aurora Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Eloqua for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via Bulk API exports filtered on a contact/account modified-date field using EML filter syntax.

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.
  • Eloqua: Per-instance soft limits by sync type (Export 2,000/hr, Import 2,000/hr, Sync Action 4,000/hr); 32 MB cap per POST to a staging area and 50,000 records per retrieve batch.
