Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Ramp

Work with Ramp'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 Users, Departments, Reimbursements, Bills from Ramp into Views, Users and Grants, Managed Databases, Databases 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 Ramp with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Bills and their approval and payment state into an AP or ERP system, marking each one ready-to-sync then synced to keep both ledgers reconciled.
  • 02 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.
  • 04 Push cleaned or enriched records from central systems back into the Lightsail database behind a small web app.

Common sync patterns

React to financial events

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

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Ramp live in Amazon Lightsail as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

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 Ramp.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Ramp

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 Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Users to Ramp — 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. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Departments to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Reimbursements to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Bills to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Vendors to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Funds (Spend Controls) to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Ramp

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

Ramp Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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.
  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.

How the Amazon Lightsail and Ramp 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

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

Ramp

Integration surface
REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).
Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
