Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and Zuora

Work with Zuora'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 Invoice, Payment, Usage, Order and Amendment from Zuora into Global Tables, Time to Live (TTL), Tables, Items 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 Zuora with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream metered Usage records from a warehouse or metering pipeline into Zuora so consumption-based charges are rated on the correct Rate Plan.
  • 02 Two-way sync of Accounts and Subscriptions with an operational Postgres database so product and finance teams read billing state in SQL while changes flow back into Zuora.
  • 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

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Zuora 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 Zuora.

Write back safely

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

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and Zuora

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 Zuora 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. Order and Amendment Records of subscription create and change actions; written to Zuora to drive quote-to-cash and read for subscription change history. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Order and Amendment to Zuora — 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. Account (Billing Account) The customer billing entity holding contacts, payment methods, and billing settings; synced two-way as the parent record most other Zuora objects hang off. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Account (Billing Account) to Zuora — 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. Subscription Recurring or usage-based subscription tied to an Account; read for revenue state and written when provisioning or changing plans from a CRM or app. Global Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Subscription to Zuora — 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. Rate Plan and Rate Plan Charge The priced components inside a Subscription; synced so charge amounts, quantities, and effective dates stay aligned with the source system. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Rate Plan and Rate Plan Charge to Zuora — 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. Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog) The catalog of sellable products and their pricing; usually mastered elsewhere and written into Zuora, or read to map subscription charges. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog) to Zuora — 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. Invoice Billing documents generated from rate plan charges and order line items; typically read out into an ERP or GL for revenue recognition and reconciliation. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Invoice to Zuora — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and Zuora

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

Zuora Amazon DynamoDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionZuora notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental extraction on the indexed UpdatedDate column via ZOQL/AQuA stateful mode (high-water mark), plus Callout Notifications (webhooks) for.

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.
  • Zuora: Concurrency limits: 40 concurrent requests by default, 80 for Object Queries, 200 for high-volume operations (doubled for Performance Booster); HTTP 429 on breach with exponential backoff; OAuth token endpoint is not bound by the limit.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and Zuora 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.
