Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and Redis Enterprise

Keep Amazon DynamoDB and Redis Enterprise synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Amazon DynamoDB and Redis Enterprise continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Backfill or migrate records into DynamoDB from another database using BatchWriteItem, then keep the two stores in continuous sync.
  • 03 Sync Postgres reference tables into RedisJSON documents that power API responses and personalization lookups.
  • 04 Publish record-change events into Redis Streams so microservices react to upstream CRM updates without polling.

Common sync patterns

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Amazon DynamoDB and Redis Enterprise, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and Redis Enterprise

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 Redis Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Time to Live (TTL) Per-item expiry timestamps; DynamoDB deletes expired items in the background and emits a Streams REMOVE record for each deletion. Hashes Field-value maps that commonly hold one synced row per hash, keyed by record ID. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Hashes to Redis Enterprise — 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. JSON documents Native JSON storage (RedisJSON) for nested records synced from APIs or document stores. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and JSON documents to Redis Enterprise — 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. Sets Unordered unique-member collections used for membership checks like segment or ID lists. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Sets to Redis Enterprise — 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. Sorted Sets Score-ordered collections used for rankings, priority queues, and time-ordered indexes. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Sorted Sets to Redis Enterprise — 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. Lists Ordered sequences often used as lightweight queues fed by sync events. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Lists to Redis Enterprise — 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. Streams Append-only logs with consumer groups, used to fan sync events out to downstream services. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Streams to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and Redis Enterprise

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 Redis Enterprise 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 Redis Enterprise as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Redis Enterprise Amazon DynamoDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Redis Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams.

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.
  • Redis Enterprise: Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and Redis Enterprise 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.
