Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and Chargebee

Work with Chargebee's financial data straight from Amazon DynamoDB: 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 Customers, Subscriptions, Invoices, Credit notes from Chargebee into Items, Global secondary indexes (GSIs), Local secondary indexes (LSIs), DynamoDB Streams in Amazon DynamoDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Amazon DynamoDB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Chargebee with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror customers and subscriptions into Postgres so product code can check entitlement without calling the billing API.
  • 02 Trigger dunning and churn-risk workflows by syncing failed transactions into support and CS tools.
  • 03 Mirror a high-write DynamoDB table into a relational database so teams can join NoSQL application data against relational tables for reporting.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Chargebee live in Amazon DynamoDB 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 DynamoDB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Chargebee.

Write back safely

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

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and Chargebee

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 Chargebee 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. Customers Billing accounts matched to CRM accounts or users by email or external ID. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Customers to Chargebee — 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. Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Subscriptions to Chargebee — 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. Invoices Issued billing documents synced to accounting and revenue reporting. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Invoices to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local secondary indexes (LSIs) Extra sort keys within the same partition key, defined at table creation; queried like the base table for alternate access patterns. Credit notes Adjustments and refund documents needed for accurate revenue reconciliation. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Credit notes to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Items and item prices The product catalog (plans, addons, charges) referenced by every subscription. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Items and item prices to Chargebee — 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. Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. Global Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Payment sources to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and Chargebee

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 Chargebee 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 written to Chargebee through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Chargebee Amazon DynamoDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChargebee notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for all major object events, plus a pollable Events resource that records every change.

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.
  • Chargebee: Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and Chargebee 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.
