Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into Amazon Lightsail so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Amazon Lightsail.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Fields, Incidents, Service Requests, Problems from Sysaid into Views, Users and Grants, Managed Databases, Databases in Amazon Lightsail and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 02 Mirror Assets and Configuration Items with an external CMDB or asset database so inventory and ticket linkage share one source of truth.
  • 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

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Amazon Lightsail and Stacksync propagates the change into Sysaid, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Sysaid arrive as row changes in Amazon Lightsail, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and Sysaid

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 Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Companies to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Custom Fields to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Incidents to Sysaid — 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. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Service Requests to Sysaid — 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. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Problems to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Changes to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and Sysaid

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

Sysaid Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the Amazon Lightsail and Sysaid 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

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
Capabilities

Rate limits
Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.
