Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Pigment

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from Amazon Lightsail: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Dimension lists, Tables, Scenarios, Data imports from Pigment into Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Lightsail and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Amazon Lightsail, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push CRM pipeline data (deals, stages, amounts) into Pigment for revenue and capacity planning.
  • 02 Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • 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

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Amazon Lightsail; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Amazon Lightsail propagate into Pigment, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Pigment appear in Amazon Lightsail as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Pigment

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 Pigment objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. Users and permissions Access controls governing which model areas a sync can touch Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Users and permissions to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Applications to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Metrics to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Dimension lists to Pigment — 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. Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Scenarios to Pigment — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Pigment

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

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.
  • Pigment: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
