Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Bill

Work with Bill's financial data straight from Amazon RDS: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Vendors, Invoices, Customers, Payments from Bill into Read Replicas, Stored Procedures, Databases, Schemas in Amazon RDS and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Amazon RDS, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Bill with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read approved Bills and their line items into a Postgres warehouse for spend, accrual, and cash-flow reporting without CSV exports.
  • 02 Sync Customers and Invoices from BILL AR into a CRM or ERP so sales and finance see billing and payment status on the account.
  • 03 Keep an RDS reporting database hydrated from operational tools without maintaining ETL jobs
  • 04 Sync master data (customers, products, pricing) from an ERP into the RDS databases that power customer-facing apps

Common sync patterns

React to financial events

Changes in Bill appear in Amazon RDS as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Bill live in Amazon RDS as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Amazon RDS; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Bill.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Bill

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 Bill objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Bills Accounts-payable amounts owed to vendors, with bill line items; read and created via /v3/bills and pulled incrementally by filtering on createdTime/updatedTime. Schemas is specific to Amazon RDS and Bills to Bill — 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. Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. Tables is specific to Amazon RDS and Vendors to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Views is specific to Amazon RDS and Invoices to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Customers AR customer master records; mapped to customer/account records in a CRM or ERP so finance and sales share one view. Columns is specific to Amazon RDS and Customers to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Amazon RDS and Payments to Bill — 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. Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon RDS and Chart of Accounts to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon RDS and Bill

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

Bill Amazon RDS Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

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.
  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
