Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and Clari

Treat Clari like part of your database: its records live in Amazon DynamoDB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Amazon DynamoDB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Quota, Opportunities, Activity (Capture), Account field extensions from Clari into Global secondary indexes (GSIs), Local secondary indexes (LSIs), DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables in Amazon DynamoDB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Clari with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream Audit Events into a reporting database to monitor forecast-submission changes and user activity for compliance.
  • 02 Pull Activity (Capture) meetings and emails, mapped to their accounts and opportunities, into a database for coverage and engagement analysis.
  • 03 Backfill or migrate records into DynamoDB from another database using BatchWriteItem, then keep the two stores in continuous sync.
  • 04 Mirror a high-write DynamoDB table into a relational database so teams can join NoSQL application data against relational tables for reporting.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Clari arrive as row changes in Amazon DynamoDB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Clari become tables in Amazon DynamoDB you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Amazon DynamoDB sync onto the matching records in Clari, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and Clari

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 Clari objects How this pairing syncs
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. Opportunities Retrieved synchronously by ID from GET /opportunity (up to 100 IDs per call) with Clari CRM scoring and field-change history; read-only, mirroring the CRM opportunity Clari sits on. Global Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Opportunities to Clari — 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. Activity (Capture) Meetings, emails, and attachments captured by Clari and mapped to accounts and opportunities; exported read-only via async activity jobs. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Activity (Capture) to Clari — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Account field extensions External data points written onto Account records through the ingest API in initial or incremental mode; requires an apikey plus a partnerkey. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Account field extensions to Clari — 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. Opportunity field extensions Warehouse-computed fields pushed onto Opportunity records via the ingest API; up to 100 records per request or 10MB bulk files. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Opportunity field extensions to Clari — 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. Audit Events User edits and system events exported with filtering by actor, session, and date range; read-only feed for change tracking and compliance. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Audit Events to Clari — 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. Forecast Exported per forecast tab and fiscal period via async jobs; includes submitted forecast calls, updates, manager adjustments, and CRM totals. Read-only. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Forecast to Clari — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and Clari

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

Clari Amazon DynamoDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Clari for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling — reads run as asynchronous export jobs (submit export, poll job status, download results).

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.
  • Clari: Max 3 concurrent exports and roughly 1000 exports per rolling 30-day org window; ingestion capped at 100 requests/sec per API token.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and Clari 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.
