Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Bigcommerce

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in Amazon RDS: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Brands, Inventory, Price Lists, Shipments from Bigcommerce into Amazon RDS and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Bigcommerce holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Amazon RDS, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Bigcommerce with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

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 Sync Customers and customer groups two-way with a CRM so marketing and support see the same accounts and addresses as the storefront.
  • 04 Push Price Lists from an ERP into BigCommerce to drive customer-group and B2B pricing without manual catalog edits.

Common sync patterns

React to store changes

Updates in Bigcommerce arrive as row changes in Amazon RDS, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in Amazon RDS sync back onto Bigcommerce, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in Amazon RDS for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Bigcommerce

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 Bigcommerce objects How this pairing syncs
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Products Catalog V3 records with custom fields and images; mastered in a PIM or ERP and written to BigCommerce, or read out to a warehouse. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Amazon RDS and Products to Bigcommerce — 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. Variants and SKUs Per-variant pricing and inventory; synced to keep stock and SKU data aligned with an ERP or WMS at the option level. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon RDS and Variants and SKUs to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows. Orders V2 Orders API header, line items, and shipping/billing addresses; read into an ERP or accounting system, with status written back. Stored Procedures is specific to Amazon RDS and Orders to Bigcommerce — 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. Customers V3 customer accounts, customer groups, and addresses; synced two-way with a CRM so storefront and GTM records match. Databases is specific to Amazon RDS and Customers to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Categories Catalog V3 category tree; mapped for merchandising and kept aligned with a product master or PIM. Schemas is specific to Amazon RDS and Categories to Bigcommerce — 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. Brands Catalog V3 brand records linked to products; kept aligned with a product master or PIM so brand names and pages stay consistent. Tables is specific to Amazon RDS and Brands to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon RDS and Bigcommerce

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

Bigcommerce Amazon RDS Sub-second propagation

DetectionBigcommerce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks push near-real-time events (store/order/*, store/product/*, store/customer/* and more).

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.
  • Bigcommerce: OAuth quota refreshes every 30 seconds and varies by plan (about 20,000 requests/hour on Standard and Plus, 60,000 on Pro, higher on Enterprise); the X-Rate-Limit-Requests-Left header reports remaining calls.
