Why teams connect Amazon Aurora and Newrelic

Keep Amazon Aurora and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Amazon Aurora is where your application's durable data lives; Newrelic is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Aurora with Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync between Aurora application tables and a CRM so product data and account data stay consistent.
  • 02 Stream row-level changes from Aurora into a warehouse for near-real-time analytics without batch exports.
  • 03 Provision and update Dashboards and Alert Policies from a config repository or database through NerdGraph so definitions stay versioned and consistent across accounts and environments.
  • 04 Push custom business or pipeline Events and Metrics into New Relic through the Event and Metric APIs so they appear alongside APM data in dashboards and NRQL.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in Amazon Aurora and Stacksync keeps Newrelic current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Newrelic arrive as row changes in Amazon Aurora, and writes to Amazon Aurora propagate to Newrelic within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Newrelic stay matched to the users or owners table in Amazon Aurora, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

What you can sync between Amazon Aurora and Newrelic

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 Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets (PostgreSQL-compatible clusters) readable as sources. NRQL Query Results Telemetry events, metrics, logs, and spans queried through NerdGraph's nrql field (or the legacy Insights query API) over time windows; read-only and bounded by data retention, commonly streamed into a warehouse for long-term analysis. Materialized Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — 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. Entities The entity catalog of APM applications, hosts, services, and monitors searched via NerdGraph entitySearch; read for inventory, with tags added or replaced through taggingAddTagsToEntity so ownership and environment metadata stay in sync. Columns and Data Types is specific to Amazon Aurora and Entities to Newrelic — 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. Workloads Workload groupings of related entities via NerdGraph workloadCreate/workloadUpdate/workloadDelete with full CRUD; read for status rollups or provisioned from a service catalog to keep team-level views current. Primary and Foreign Keys is specific to Amazon Aurora and Workloads to Newrelic — 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. Synthetics Monitors Synthetic uptime and scripted browser checks managed through NerdGraph synthetics mutations (create, update, delete); monitor results are read via NRQL for availability and latency reporting. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases within a cluster that scope a sync connection. Custom Events Custom events posted write-only to the Event API on insights-collector with a License/Ingest key; business or pipeline events pushed into New Relic to enrich dashboards, then queried back out with NRQL. Databases is specific to Amazon Aurora and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces (PostgreSQL) or database-level grouping (MySQL) used in table selection. Change Tracking (Deployments) Deployment and change markers recorded through NerdGraph changeTrackingCreateDeployment; written from CI/CD to annotate charts, and read back via NRQL on the Deployment event for release correlation. Schemas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Aurora and Newrelic

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

Newrelic Amazon Aurora Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

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.
  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.

Newrelic

Integration surface
NerdGraph (GraphQL) plus REST data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log, Trace) and the legacy REST API v2
Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
Change detection
NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans); config objects such as dashboards, alert policies, and workloads carry no modified-date and are diffed on each run. Alert workflows can push outbound webhook notifications for near-real-time alerting. No CDC feed.
