Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and Docusign

Mirror Docusign's data into Amazon DynamoDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Docusign through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Amazon DynamoDB.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Envelopes, Recipients, Documents from Docusign into Tables, Items, Global secondary indexes (GSIs), Local secondary indexes (LSIs) in Amazon DynamoDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Docusign, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push signed Documents and the certificate of completion into a document store or database keyed by Envelope Custom Fields for audit and retrieval.
  • 02 Mirror Envelope Custom Fields and Folder placement into a reporting database to analyze agreement volume, cycle time, and stalled signatures.
  • 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

Read Docusign with a query

Records from Docusign are ordinary rows in Amazon DynamoDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Docusign from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Amazon DynamoDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Docusign, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Docusign arrive as row changes in Amazon DynamoDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and Docusign

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 Docusign 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. Documents The PDF files inside an envelope plus the certificate of completion; read signed output out to a store, or supply source documents on create. Global Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Documents to Docusign — 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. Templates Reusable envelope definitions with predefined recipients and tab placement; read to map fields and referenced by ID to generate new envelopes. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Templates to Docusign — 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. Tabs (form fields) Signature, initial, date, text, and checkbox fields on a document; they carry the data a signer entered and are read out into databases. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Tabs (form fields) to Docusign — 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. Envelope Custom Fields Text and list metadata used to tag envelopes for reporting; synced to a warehouse or CRM to key and categorize agreements. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Envelope Custom Fields to Docusign — 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. Folders Containers such as Inbox, Sent, and Draft plus custom folders; listed and moved to organize envelopes and drive reporting queries. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Folders to Docusign — 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. Users Account members and senders; the eSignature Users resource exposes them for attribution and reporting, while bulk org-wide user provisioning uses the separate Admin API. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Users to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and Docusign

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

Docusign Amazon DynamoDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionDocusign notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Docusign Connect webhooks push envelope and recipient status-change events in real time.

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.
  • Docusign: Default 3,000 API requests per hour per account across all integrations, plus a burst limit of 500 calls per 30-second window; usage is exposed via the RateLimit and BurstLimit response headers.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and Docusign 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.
