Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Azure Service Bus

Keep Amazon RDS and Azure Service Bus in step: the rows in your database and the Sessions, Dead-letter queue, Scheduled / deferred messages, Queues your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Amazon RDS is where your application's durable data lives; Azure Service Bus is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in Amazon RDS with Sessions, Dead-letter queue, Scheduled / deferred messages, Queues in Azure Service Bus field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep an RDS reporting database hydrated from operational tools without maintaining ETL jobs
  • 02 Sync master data (customers, products, pricing) from an ERP into the RDS databases that power customer-facing apps
  • 03 Bridge order or workflow events off a subscription into an ERP or ticketing system as they arrive, mapping message properties and the payload to target fields.
  • 04 Preserve per-account or per-order processing order by grouping related messages into a session so a single consumer handles them in FIFO sequence.

Common sync patterns

Where Azure Service Bus manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Azure Service Bus stay matched to the users or owners table in Amazon RDS, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Amazon RDS creates or updates the matching record in Azure Service Bus, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Azure Service Bus arrive in Amazon RDS as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Azure Service Bus

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 RDS objects Azure Service Bus objects How this pairing syncs
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Sessions Message sessions group related messages by SessionId so one consumer handles them in FIFO order; the way ordered processing is achieved in Service Bus. Views is specific to Amazon RDS and Sessions to Azure Service Bus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Dead-letter queue A sub-queue on every queue and subscription that automatically holds messages exceeding the max delivery count or their TTL, read for inspection and reprocessing. Columns is specific to Amazon RDS and Dead-letter queue to Azure Service Bus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Scheduled / deferred messages Messages enqueued for future delivery at a set time, or deferred and set aside by sequence number for retrieval later, out of the normal receive order. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Amazon RDS and Scheduled / deferred messages to Azure Service Bus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Read Replicas Low-impact read endpoints often used as the source side of a sync. Queues Point-to-point entity: a sender writes messages and one competing consumer at a time receives them under PeekLock, then completes or abandons each message. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon RDS and Queues to Azure Service Bus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows. Topics Publish/subscribe entity a publisher sends to; each message is fanned out to every subscription whose filter rules match, so many consumers get their own copy. Stored Procedures is specific to Amazon RDS and Topics to Azure Service Bus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Engine-level databases on the instance that scope a sync's reads and writes. Subscriptions A virtual queue attached to a topic; a consumer receives its own stream of matching messages here, independent of other subscriptions on the same topic. Databases is specific to Amazon RDS and Subscriptions to Azure Service Bus — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon RDS and Azure Service Bus

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 RDS Azure Service Bus Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon RDS are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Engine-native log-based CDC: MySQL/MariaDB binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server CDC.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Azure Service Bus through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Azure Service Bus Amazon RDS Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure Service Bus for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Consumes messages as they arrive: an AMQP receiver holds an open connection and takes messages with PeekLock (lock, then complete/abandon) or.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon RDS as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon RDS: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance class, storage IOPS, and connection limits.
  • Azure Service Bus: Standard tier throttles around 1,000 operations/second and returns a ServerBusy error; Premium provisions dedicated messaging units (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16) for isolated, predictable throughput. Up to 5,000 concurrent AMQP connections per namespace and 5,000 concurrent receive requests per entity.
