Why teams connect Amazon S3 and Apache Doris

Bridge query-ready tables and stored files: Apache Doris and Amazon S3 keep the same records in step, in real time, in both directions.

Apache Doris keeps the tables and query results a business reports on; Amazon S3 keeps the raw files, documents, and objects that the same business produces and shares. The two overlap wherever a dataset lives as both — a file dropped in Amazon S3 that has to become rows in Apache Doris, or a result in Apache Doris that people downstream need back as a file in Amazon S3. When that overlap is bridged by manual export and import or an overnight job, one side spends the day working from a stale copy.

Stacksync syncs Databases, Tables, Unique Key Tables, Aggregate Key Tables in Apache Doris with Object versions, Prefixes (folders), Multipart uploads, Buckets in Amazon S3 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Continuously upsert changing records into Unique Key tables so analytics reflect current state rather than append-only history.
  • 02 Read aggregates from Doris and sync them into business tools like CRMs or spreadsheets.
  • 03 Two-way sync Object tags with a database so retention or classification labels set in an internal app write back onto S3 objects via the tagging API without rewriting the files.
  • 04 Mirror Objects under a given Bucket and prefix into another bucket, region, or a warehouse external stage for backup or downstream processing.

Common sync patterns

Where Amazon S3 is the shared drive: publish results back as files

Curated tables and query results from Apache Doris are written to Amazon S3 as files the rest of the business can open, keeping the shared copy current without a hand-run export.

One dataset, kept consistent both ways

Where the same dataset lives as a file in Amazon S3 and a table in Apache Doris, a change on either side propagates to the other, ending the drift between the file people read and the table people query.

Where Amazon S3 holds the file inventory: make it queryable

The catalog of documents, owners, and folders in Amazon S3 appears as Databases, Tables, Unique Key Tables, Aggregate Key Tables in Apache Doris, so file metadata can be joined against the rest of your data and reported on.

What you can sync between Amazon S3 and Apache Doris

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 S3 objects Apache Doris objects How this pairing syncs
Object metadata System metadata (Content-Type, size, ETag, LastModified) plus user-defined x-amz-meta-* headers; user metadata is fixed at write time and only changeable by rewriting the object. Partitions Range or list partitions that bound incremental loads. Object metadata is specific to Amazon S3 and Partitions to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object tags Up to 10 key-value tags per object, mutable in place via the tagging API independent of content, so classification and retention labels sync two-way without rewriting files. Materialized Views Precomputed views readable for downstream syncs and BI. Object tags is specific to Amazon S3 and Materialized Views to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object versions When bucket versioning is enabled every write creates a new version ID; prior versions and delete markers are readable for history and audit syncs. Users and Roles Principals used to grant the sync connection scoped access. Object versions is specific to Amazon S3 and Users and Roles to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes (folders) Logical path segments in object keys used to scope a sync and to parallelize throughput, since S3 rate limits partition by prefix. Databases Logical containers that scope connections and grants. Prefixes (folders) is specific to Amazon S3 and Databases to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Multipart uploads In-progress large-object uploads assembled from parts; objects above ~100 MB (required above 5 GB) are written this way, and incomplete uploads persist until completed or aborted. Tables Columnar tables in one of Doris's table models, used as sync destinations. Multipart uploads is specific to Amazon S3 and Tables to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level, region-scoped containers that hold objects; enumerated to discover the namespaces and prefixes a sync should cover. Unique Key Tables Tables supporting primary-key upserts, the natural target for row-level syncs. Buckets is specific to Amazon S3 and Unique Key Tables to Apache Doris — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon S3 and Apache Doris

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 S3 Apache Doris Sub-second propagation

DetectionAmazon S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications push object-created, object-removed, and object-tagging events to SNS, SQS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Apache Doris as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Apache Doris Amazon S3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Doris for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Amazon S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon S3: S3 sustains at least 3,500 PUT/COPY/POST/DELETE and 5,500 GET/HEAD requests per second per partitioned prefix and scales higher automatically; bursts can return HTTP 503 SlowDown while it repartitions.
  • Apache Doris: No API quotas; load throughput depends on cluster resources and load-job configuration.

How the Amazon S3 and Apache Doris connectors work

Amazon S3

Integration surface
S3 REST API (also via AWS SDKs and the S3-compatible endpoint)
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials — an access key ID and secret access key signed with AWS Signature Version 4; supports temporary STS credentials and cross-account IAM roles
Change detection
S3 Event Notifications push object-created, object-removed, and object-tagging events to SNS, SQS, Lambda, or EventBridge; there is no modified-since query, so polling relies on each object's LastModified from ListObjectsV2
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
S3 sustains at least 3,500 PUT/COPY/POST/DELETE and 5,500 GET/HEAD requests per second per partitioned prefix and scales higher automatically; bursts can return HTTP 503 SlowDown while it repartitions.

Apache Doris

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL access; HTTP APIs (such as Stream Load) for bulk ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads; ingestion into Doris is push-based via load jobs
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API quotas; load throughput depends on cluster resources and load-job configuration
