Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and BetterContact

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

BetterContact is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Amazon Lightsail, so Amazon Lightsail always reflects the current state of BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Engineers integrate with tools like BetterContact 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 Lightsail.

Stacksync mirrors Enriched Contact, Company, Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request from BetterContact into Schemas, Tables, Views, Users and Grants in Amazon Lightsail 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 BetterContact, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
  • 02 Validate catch-all email addresses before sending to protect sender domain reputation.
  • 03 Migrate data continuously from a Lightsail database to a larger managed database as an application outgrows the VPS tier.
  • 04 Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.

Common sync patterns

Read BetterContact with a query

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

Automate BetterContact from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

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

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and BetterContact

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 Lightsail objects BetterContact objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Enriched Contact to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Views Query-backed read-only sources. Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Lead Finder Search to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Enrichment Request to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and BetterContact

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 Lightsail BetterContact Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Amazon Lightsail for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or key columns.

DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating Amazon Lightsail records.

BetterContact Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon Lightsail as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon Lightsail: No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle.
  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
