Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Gainsight

Mirror Gainsight'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.

Engineers integrate with tools like Gainsight 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 Timeline Activity, Success Plan, Task and Playbook, Custom Objects from Gainsight 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 Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 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

React to changes as they happen

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

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Gainsight with a query

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

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Gainsight

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 Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — 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. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Custom Objects to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Company to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Person (People) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Gainsight

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

Gainsight Amazon Lightsail Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.

How the Amazon Lightsail and Gainsight connectors work

Amazon Lightsail

Integration surface
MySQL or PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL) to the managed database endpoint
Authentication
Database credentials; public endpoint access must be enabled or a tunnel used
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or key columns; log-based CDC depends on engine parameter access, which is more limited than on full RDS
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle

Gainsight

Integration surface
REST APIs (per-object) and asynchronous Bulk REST API
Authentication
API access key passed in the 'accesskey' request header (non-expiring), generated by a Gainsight admin; M2M OAuth (Client ID/Secret) is also supported
Change detection
Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object; Rules Engine Real-Time Rules can optionally push specific object events (e.g., a Company stage change) to an external endpoint
Capabilities
