Why teams connect Amazon Aurora and Navan

Work with Navan's financial data straight from Amazon Aurora: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Bookings, Custom Fields, Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments from Navan into Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Aurora and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Amazon Aurora, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Navan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push coded expense transactions into an accounting system, then set their ERP sync status in Navan so the same records are not exported twice.
  • 02 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 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

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Navan live in Amazon Aurora as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Amazon Aurora; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Navan.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Amazon Aurora propagate into Navan, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Amazon Aurora and Navan

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 Navan objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Relational tables synced bi-directionally at row level. Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Tables is specific to Amazon Aurora and Receipts to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only query-backed sources for downstream syncs. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets (PostgreSQL-compatible clusters) readable as sources. Users Employee and cardholder records referenced by every transaction; usually provisioned from an HRIS and used to map spend to people and departments. Materialized Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Users to Navan — 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. Card Transactions Navan physical and virtual card spend; read via GET, then GL codes, cost centers, and ERP sync status are written back per transaction through the transaction update endpoint. Columns and Data Types is specific to Amazon Aurora and Card Transactions to Navan — 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. Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Primary and Foreign Keys is specific to Amazon Aurora and Connect Transactions to Navan — 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. Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Manual Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Aurora and Navan

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

Navan Amazon Aurora Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

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.
  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.

Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow; an admin creates a client_id and client_secret under Settings > Integrations and exchanges them at Navan's OAuth token endpoint for a short-lived bearer token that is refreshed on expiry (separate US and EU regional hosts)
Change detection
Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events; sync engines also poll GET endpoints with date-range and updatedAt filters (createdFrom/createdTo for bookings) to backfill history and reconcile. There is no database-level CDC.
