Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Newrelic

Keep Amazon Lightsail and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Entities, Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Amazon Lightsail is where your application's durable data lives; Newrelic is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Lightsail with Entities, Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.
  • 02 Push cleaned or enriched records from central systems back into the Lightsail database behind a small web app.
  • 03 Provision and update Dashboards and Alert Policies from a config repository or database through NerdGraph so definitions stay versioned and consistent across accounts and environments.
  • 04 Push custom business or pipeline Events and Metrics into New Relic through the Event and Metric APIs so they appear alongside APM data in dashboards and NRQL.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Newrelic arrive as row changes in Amazon Lightsail, and writes to Amazon Lightsail propagate to Newrelic within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Newrelic stay matched to the users or owners table in Amazon Lightsail, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Amazon Lightsail creates or updates the matching record in Newrelic, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Newrelic

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 Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. Entities The entity catalog of APM applications, hosts, services, and monitors searched via NerdGraph entitySearch; read for inventory, with tags added or replaced through taggingAddTagsToEntity so ownership and environment metadata stay in sync. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Entities to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Workloads Workload groupings of related entities via NerdGraph workloadCreate/workloadUpdate/workloadDelete with full CRUD; read for status rollups or provisioned from a service catalog to keep team-level views current. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Workloads to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Synthetics Monitors Synthetic uptime and scripted browser checks managed through NerdGraph synthetics mutations (create, update, delete); monitor results are read via NRQL for availability and latency reporting. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Custom Events Custom events posted write-only to the Event API on insights-collector with a License/Ingest key; business or pipeline events pushed into New Relic to enrich dashboards, then queried back out with NRQL. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Change Tracking (Deployments) Deployment and change markers recorded through NerdGraph changeTrackingCreateDeployment; written from CI/CD to annotate charts, and read back via NRQL on the Deployment event for release correlation. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — 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. Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via NerdGraph dashboardCreate/dashboardUpdate/dashboardDelete mutations and entity queries, with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit or provisioned and updated programmatically from a source of truth. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Dashboards to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Newrelic

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

Newrelic Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

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.
  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.

How the Amazon Lightsail and Newrelic 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

Newrelic

Integration surface
NerdGraph (GraphQL) plus REST data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log, Trace) and the legacy REST API v2
Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
Change detection
NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans); config objects such as dashboards, alert policies, and workloads carry no modified-date and are diffed on each run. Alert workflows can push outbound webhook notifications for near-real-time alerting. No CDC feed.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response.
