Why teams connect Amazon Aurora and Recurly

Work with Recurly'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 Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans, Invoices from Recurly into Primary and Foreign Keys, Read Replicas, Databases, Schemas 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 Recurly with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 02 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 03 Write enriched or scored records from analytics pipelines back into the Aurora tables that power an application.
  • 04 Offload sync reads to Aurora reader endpoints to avoid load on the writer instance.

Common sync patterns

React to financial events

Changes in Recurly appear in Amazon Aurora as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Recurly 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 Recurly.

What you can sync between Amazon Aurora and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Read Replicas Reader endpoints that syncs can target to keep load off the writer. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases within a cluster that scope a sync connection. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Databases is specific to Amazon Aurora and Plans to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces (PostgreSQL) or database-level grouping (MySQL) used in table selection. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Schemas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables synced bi-directionally at row level. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Tables is specific to Amazon Aurora and Transactions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only query-backed sources for downstream syncs. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets (PostgreSQL-compatible clusters) readable as sources. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Materialized Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Aurora and Recurly

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

Recurly Amazon Aurora Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
