Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and Apache Doris

Connect Amazon DynamoDB and Apache Doris with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Amazon DynamoDB's rows in Apache Doris, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Amazon DynamoDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Amazon DynamoDB sync into Apache Doris in real time, and result tables in Apache Doris sync back into Amazon DynamoDB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Continuously upsert changing records into Unique Key tables so analytics reflect current state rather than append-only history.
  • 02 Read aggregates from Doris and sync them into business tools like CRMs or spreadsheets.
  • 03 Use DynamoDB Streams as a change-data-capture source to push item INSERT, MODIFY, and REMOVE events into a CRM, search index, or operational database in near-real-time.
  • 04 Backfill or migrate records into DynamoDB from another database using BatchWriteItem, then keep the two stores in continuous sync.

Common sync patterns

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Apache Doris and keep Amazon DynamoDB focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Amazon DynamoDB land in Apache Doris as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and Apache Doris

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 DynamoDB objects Apache Doris objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Top-level containers, each with a partition key and optional sort key; Stacksync syncs a table as a stream of items with full read and write via PutItem, UpdateItem, and DeleteItem. Tables Columnar tables in one of Doris's table models, used as sync destinations. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with old/new image views and 24-hour retention; the native change-data-capture source Stacksync reads for near-real-time sync. Materialized Views Precomputed views readable for downstream syncs and BI. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Materialized Views to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Tables Multi-region, active-active replicas of a table kept in sync by DynamoDB; each region is read and written locally with last-writer-wins conflict resolution. Users and Roles Principals used to grant the sync connection scoped access. Global Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Users and Roles to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time to Live (TTL) Per-item expiry timestamps; DynamoDB deletes expired items in the background and emits a Streams REMOVE record for each deletion. Databases Logical containers that scope connections and grants. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Databases to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Individual schemaless records (attributes up to 400 KB each); read with GetItem, Query, and Scan and written with PutItem or BatchWriteItem, so write is supported here. Unique Key Tables Tables supporting primary-key upserts, the natural target for row-level syncs. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Unique Key Tables to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global secondary indexes (GSIs) Alternate key projections that let you Query by non-key attributes without a full table Scan; read-only views maintained automatically by DynamoDB. Aggregate Key Tables Tables that pre-aggregate on load, used for metric rollups. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Aggregate Key Tables to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and Apache Doris

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 DynamoDB Apache Doris Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon DynamoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Apache Doris as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Apache Doris Amazon DynamoDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Doris for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon DynamoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon DynamoDB: Throughput is metered in read/write capacity units (provisioned or on-demand): 1 WCU = one 1 KB write per second, 1 RCU = one strongly-consistent 4 KB read per second. Exceeding capacity or the ~3,000 RCU / 1,000 WCU per-partition ceiling returns ProvisionedThroughputExceededException with throttling.
  • Apache Doris: No API quotas; load throughput depends on cluster resources and load-job configuration.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and Apache Doris connectors work

Amazon DynamoDB

Integration surface
AWS SDK / low-level HTTPS JSON API at dynamodb.<region>.amazonaws.com (PutItem, GetItem, UpdateItem, DeleteItem, Query, Scan, BatchWriteItem, TransactWriteItems), plus PartiQL (ExecuteStatement) for SQL-style access and DynamoDB Streams for change capture.
Authentication
AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) signed requests using an IAM access key ID and secret key, or temporary STS credentials from an assumed IAM role; IAM policies scope access down to table and item level.
Change detection
DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views and 24-hour retention, read via shard iterators (or Kinesis Data Streams for longer retention). No native HTTP webhooks.
