Why teams connect Amazon RDS and Recurly

Work with Recurly'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 Invoices, Transactions, Line Items, Coupons and Redemptions from Recurly into Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys 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 Recurly with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 02 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 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

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 Recurly.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Amazon RDS propagate into Recurly, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

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

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Tables is specific to Amazon RDS and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Views is specific to Amazon RDS and Plans to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Columns is specific to Amazon RDS and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Amazon RDS and Transactions to Recurly — 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. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon RDS and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Stored Procedures is specific to Amazon RDS and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon RDS and Recurly

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

Recurly Amazon RDS Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
