Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Gainsight

Mirror Gainsight'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.

Engineers integrate with tools like Gainsight 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 Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact from Gainsight into Schemas, Tables, Views, Columns 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 Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 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

Read Gainsight with a query

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

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Amazon RDS and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Gainsight arrive as row changes in Amazon RDS, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Gainsight

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 Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Columns is specific to Amazon RDS and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Amazon RDS and Custom Objects to Gainsight — 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. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon RDS and Company to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows. Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Stored Procedures is specific to Amazon RDS and Person (People) to Gainsight — 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. Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Databases is specific to Amazon RDS and Relationship to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Schemas is specific to Amazon RDS and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon RDS and Gainsight

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

Gainsight Amazon RDS Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
