Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Recurly

Work with Recurly'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 Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans, Invoices from Recurly 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 Recurly with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 02 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 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

Write back safely

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

React to financial events

Changes in Recurly 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 Recurly live in Amazon Lightsail as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Plans to Recurly — 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. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Invoices to Recurly — 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. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Transactions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Recurly

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

Recurly Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.

How the Amazon Lightsail and Recurly 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

Recurly

Integration surface
REST API (V3, date-versioned; legacy V2 XML API also exists)
Authentication
API key via HTTP Basic auth (key as username, blank password); keys are per-site, with separate sandbox and production keys
Change detection
Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints sorted by updated_at with begin_time/end_time filters
Capabilities

Rate limits
Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
