Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Smartrecruiters

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Amazon Lightsail and Smartrecruiters share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Smartrecruiters is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Amazon Lightsail is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Users, Approvals, Candidates, Applications in Smartrecruiters need to exist as queryable Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Lightsail before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Lightsail with Users, Approvals, Candidates, Applications in Smartrecruiters field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Smartrecruiters typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

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 Export Interviews and Offers to a data warehouse to analyze interviewer load, offer-acceptance rates, and hiring outcomes.
  • 04 Subscribe to the Webhooks API to react to new applications and status changes in near real time across downstream systems.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Smartrecruiters stay consistent in Amazon Lightsail, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Amazon Lightsail write onto the matching record in Smartrecruiters where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Smartrecruiters land as queryable Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Amazon Lightsail, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Smartrecruiters

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 Smartrecruiters objects How this pairing syncs
Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Offers Offer records tied to an Application with status, custom offer fields, and offer documents; readable and writable, commonly synced to an HRIS on hire (documents endpoint limited to 2 requests/sec). Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Offers to Smartrecruiters — 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. Users Company users (recruiters, hiring managers) with roles, access groups, and activation state; read and written via the User Management API. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Users to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Approvals Approval requests for jobs and offers; requests can be created, retrieved as pending, commented on, and approved or rejected via the Approvals API. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Approvals to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Candidates Person records with contact details, tags, attachments, custom properties, and consent; created, updated, and searched via the Candidates API, often populated from sourcing or enrichment pipelines. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Candidates to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Applications Links a Candidate to a Job and carries the current hiring status and source; created and advanced through statuses (screening, interview, offer, hired, rejected) via the Application API. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Applications to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Jobs Requisitions (positions) with openings, departments, locations, and hiring team; created, patched, and read out for requisition and time-to-fill reporting via the Jobs API. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Jobs to Smartrecruiters — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Smartrecruiters

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

Smartrecruiters Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionSmartrecruiters notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks API — subscribe to events (new application, candidate updated, status changed) delivered with a signing secret and retrievable callback logs.

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.
  • Smartrecruiters: Per API credential: most endpoints allow up to 10 requests/sec (job publication and offer documents 2/sec), plus a concurrency limiter of up to 8 simultaneous requests (GET /candidates capped at 1). Exceeding returns 429; responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit/Remaining and concurrent-limit headers.
