Why teams connect Amazon Aurora and Ukg Pro

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Amazon Aurora and Ukg Pro share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Pro is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Amazon Aurora is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Configuration Setup (Code Tables), Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details), Employment Details in Ukg Pro need to exist as queryable Materialized Views, Columns and Data Types, Primary and Foreign Keys, Read Replicas in Amazon Aurora before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Materialized Views, Columns and Data Types, Primary and Foreign Keys, Read Replicas in Amazon Aurora with Configuration Setup (Code Tables), Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details), Employment Details in Ukg Pro field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Pro typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream row-level changes from Aurora into a warehouse for near-real-time analytics without batch exports.
  • 02 Consolidate several Aurora clusters into one reporting database.
  • 03 Deprovision accounts by subscribing to UKG Pro termination and job-change webhook events to disable IdP and app access as changes become effective.
  • 04 Keep Configuration code tables (jobs, locations, departments, cost centers) aligned between UKG Pro and an ERP so org and cost-center hierarchies match.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Pro stay consistent in Amazon Aurora, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Amazon Aurora write onto the matching record in Ukg Pro where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Pro land as queryable Materialized Views, Columns and Data Types, Primary and Foreign Keys, Read Replicas in Amazon Aurora, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between Amazon Aurora and Ukg Pro

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 Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Read Replicas Reader endpoints that syncs can target to keep load off the writer. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases within a cluster that scope a sync connection. Employee (Person Details) Core worker record with demographics and identifiers; read by listing employee IDs then fetching each profile, and created on hire via the personnel/onboarding endpoints. Databases is specific to Amazon Aurora and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces (PostgreSQL) or database-level grouping (MySQL) used in table selection. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Schemas is specific to Amazon Aurora and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables synced bi-directionally at row level. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Tables is specific to Amazon Aurora and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only query-backed sources for downstream syncs. Compensation Details Effective-dated pay rate and salary; usually read into a warehouse for comp reporting and writable as new dated changes through the compensation endpoints. Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Compensation Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets (PostgreSQL-compatible clusters) readable as sources. Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Materialized Views is specific to Amazon Aurora and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Aurora and Ukg Pro

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

Ukg Pro Amazon Aurora Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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.
  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

How the Amazon Aurora and Ukg Pro connectors work

Amazon Aurora

Integration surface
MySQL or PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL); optional RDS Data API over HTTPS
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM database authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC: binlog on MySQL-compatible clusters, logical replication/decoding on PostgreSQL-compatible clusters; polling as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
No API rate limits for wire-protocol access; throughput is bounded by instance class and connection limits

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
Capabilities
