Why teams connect Amazon RDS and BetterContact

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

BetterContact is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Amazon RDS, so Amazon RDS always reflects the current state of BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Engineers integrate with tools like BetterContact 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 RDS.

Stacksync mirrors Enriched Contact, Company, Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request from BetterContact into Primary and Unique Keys, Read Replicas, Stored Procedures, Databases in Amazon RDS 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 BetterContact, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
  • 02 Validate catch-all email addresses before sending to protect sender domain reputation.
  • 03 Mirror SaaS objects into RDS tables so product features can join business data with application data in one query
  • 04 Keep an RDS reporting database hydrated from operational tools without maintaining ETL jobs

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in BetterContact arrive as row changes in Amazon RDS, 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.

Read BetterContact with a query

Records from BetterContact are ordinary rows in Amazon RDS; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and BetterContact

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 BetterContact objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Schemas is specific to Amazon RDS and Enrichment Request to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Tables is specific to Amazon RDS and Enriched Contact to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Views is specific to Amazon RDS and Company to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Columns is specific to Amazon RDS and Lead Finder Search to BetterContact — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon RDS and BetterContact

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 BetterContact 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.

DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating Amazon RDS records.

BetterContact Amazon RDS Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

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.
  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
