Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and YugabyteDB

Keep Amazon Lightsail and YugabyteDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Amazon Lightsail and YugabyteDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Migrate data continuously from a Lightsail database to a larger managed database as an application outgrows the VPS tier.
  • 02 Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.
  • 03 Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.
  • 04 Sync reference data such as pricing or entitlements from an ERP into YugabyteDB for globally distributed low-latency reads.

Common sync patterns

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Sequences to YugabyteDB — 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. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — 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. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Indexes to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB 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 applied to YugabyteDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

YugabyteDB Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

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.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
