Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and GitHub

Mirror GitHub'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 GitHub 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 Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories from GitHub into Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views 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 GitHub, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create GitHub issues automatically from records written elsewhere, such as bug reports logged in a CRM case object.
  • 02 Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.
  • 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 GitHub 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 GitHub with a query

Records from GitHub 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 GitHub

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 GitHub objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Issues to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Pull Requests to GitHub — 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. Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Commits to GitHub — 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. Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Releases to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Workflow runs (Actions) to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Organizations and Teams to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and GitHub

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

GitHub Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

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.
  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
