Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Eloqua

Give your team Eloqua's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in Amazon Lightsail: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Eloqua, and skip the marketing API.

Eloqua holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in Amazon Lightsail, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Custom Data Objects, Activities, Campaigns from Eloqua into Users and Grants, Managed Databases, Databases, Schemas in Amazon Lightsail field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in Amazon Lightsail, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Eloqua to drive campaigns and ads, with Eloqua kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Migrate data continuously from a Lightsail database to a larger managed database as an application outgrows the VPS tier.
  • 02 Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.
  • 03 Add or remove Contacts from shared Contact Lists and Segments based on lifecycle stage computed downstream in a database.
  • 04 Two-way sync Contacts between Eloqua and a Postgres or warehouse table, matched on email, so ops teams query and update marketing profiles in SQL while marketers keep working in Eloqua.

Common sync patterns

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in Amazon Lightsail from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Eloqua as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Eloqua land in Amazon Lightsail beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Eloqua arrives as a row change in Amazon Lightsail, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Eloqua

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 Eloqua objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Activities Engagement events (email opens, clicks, form submits, bounces, page views, subscribes/unsubscribes) exported through the Bulk API activities export; read-only feed for scoring and attribution. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Activities to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Campaigns Multi-step campaign-canvas assets managed through the Application REST API; campaign membership and response data read out for attribution reporting. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Campaigns to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Emails Email creative and email-group assets managed via the Application REST API; usually read for reporting rather than written by a sync. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Emails to Eloqua — 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. Forms and Form Submits Form definitions and their submission data, accessed through the Application REST API; submissions read out into a warehouse for lead capture and analysis. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Forms and Form Submits to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. Contact Lists and Segments Shared lists (static) and segments (dynamic audiences); Contacts are added to or removed from shared lists based on lifecycle stage computed downstream. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Contact Lists and Segments to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Contacts Core person records, keyed on email address as the unique identifier; imported/exported via the Bulk API and upserted on email, synced two-way with CRM, warehouse, and app databases. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Contacts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Eloqua

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 Eloqua 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.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Eloqua through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Eloqua Amazon Lightsail Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Eloqua for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via Bulk API exports filtered on a contact/account modified-date field using EML filter syntax.

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.
  • Eloqua: Per-instance soft limits by sync type (Export 2,000/hr, Import 2,000/hr, Sync Action 4,000/hr); 32 MB cap per POST to a staging area and 50,000 records per retrieve batch.

Amazon Lightsail

Integration surface
MySQL or PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL) to the managed database endpoint

Rate limits
No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle

Eloqua

Integration surface
Bulk API 2.0 (contacts, accounts, custom data objects, activities) plus Application REST API (campaigns, emails, forms, lists)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code or Resource Owner Password Credentials grant; Client Credentials not supported) or HTTP Basic Auth with siteName + username + password; the instance base URL must first be discovered via the login.eloqua.com/id endpoint
Change detection
Polling via Bulk API exports filtered on a contact/account modified-date field using EML filter syntax; no general-purpose record-change webhook
