Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and Opsgenie

Keep Amazon DynamoDB and Opsgenie in step: the rows in your database and the Escalations, Services, Heartbeats, Alerts your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Amazon DynamoDB is where your application's durable data lives; Opsgenie is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Time to Live (TTL), Tables in Amazon DynamoDB with Escalations, Services, Heartbeats, Alerts in Opsgenie field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Backfill or migrate records into DynamoDB from another database using BatchWriteItem, then keep the two stores in continuous sync.
  • 02 Mirror a high-write DynamoDB table into a relational database so teams can join NoSQL application data against relational tables for reporting.
  • 03 Read on-call Schedules and Escalations into an internal portal so engineers see who is on call without an Opsgenie seat.
  • 04 Create Opsgenie Alerts from rows written into a Postgres events table so application-detected issues page the right on-call Team.

Common sync patterns

Where Opsgenie manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Opsgenie stay matched to the users or owners table in Amazon DynamoDB, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Amazon DynamoDB creates or updates the matching record in Opsgenie, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Opsgenie arrive in Amazon DynamoDB as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and Opsgenie

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 Opsgenie objects How this pairing syncs
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. Alerts Core object; created, acknowledged, closed, and escalated. Synced two-way so external systems raise alerts and read back their lifecycle state. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Alerts to Opsgenie — 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. Incidents Major-incident records declared against Services with stakeholders and status; mirrored into databases or ITSM tools for cross-tool tracking. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Incidents to Opsgenie — 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 Opsgenie accounts with contact methods and roles; commonly written from an IdP or HRIS so on-call identity stays current. Global Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Users to Opsgenie — 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. Teams Groups that own alerts, schedules, and escalations; membership synced from source-of-truth identity systems. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Teams to Opsgenie — 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. Schedules On-call rotations defining who is on call and when; often read out to dashboards, portals, or Slack workflows. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Schedules to Opsgenie — 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. Escalations Policies that route unacknowledged alerts to the next responder; read out or kept aligned with team ownership. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Escalations to Opsgenie — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and Opsgenie

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

Opsgenie Amazon DynamoDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionOpsgenie notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Outgoing webhook integrations push alert lifecycle events (create, acknowledge, close, escalate).

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.
  • Opsgenie: Per-domain limits (Alert, Notification, Configuration, etc.) computed from plan tier and user-seat count; the Configuration domain has the lowest ceiling. Actual limits appear on the Reports page.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and Opsgenie 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.
