Why teams connect Amazon S3 and Scaleway Postgres

Keep Scaleway Postgres and Amazon S3 in step: a row in Scaleway Postgres for every file in Amazon S3, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in Scaleway Postgres says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Amazon S3 holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Sequences, Columns, Tables, Views in Scaleway Postgres with Buckets, Objects, Object metadata, Object tags in Amazon S3 bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync production tables from Scaleway Postgres into a CRM so sales and support see live product usage on customer records
  • 02 Run a two-way sync between Scaleway Postgres and SaaS tools so edits made in either system converge on the same rows
  • 03 Index every new Object's key, size, LastModified, and user metadata into a Postgres catalog table so applications query S3 contents in SQL instead of paging ListObjectsV2.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Records that point at documents

Where a record in Scaleway Postgres references a file in Amazon S3, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Amazon S3 become rows in Scaleway Postgres as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

Continuous archival to file storage

Rows from Scaleway Postgres are written out to Amazon S3 as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.

What you can sync between Amazon S3 and Scaleway Postgres

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 Scaleway Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Prefixes (folders) Logical path segments in object keys used to scope a sync and to parallelize throughput, since S3 rate limits partition by prefix. Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. Prefixes (folders) is specific to Amazon S3 and Materialized views to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. Multipart uploads is specific to Amazon S3 and Schemas to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. Buckets is specific to Amazon S3 and Sequences to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects Files stored under a key; content is read with GET and written with PUT, and each object's key/size/ETag/LastModified is the unit indexed into a database. Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. Objects is specific to Amazon S3 and Columns to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. Object metadata is specific to Amazon S3 and Tables to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. Object tags is specific to Amazon S3 and Views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon S3 and Scaleway Postgres

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 Scaleway Postgres 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 Scaleway Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Scaleway Postgres Amazon S3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Scaleway Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication where the managed instance permits it.

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.
  • Scaleway Postgres: Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.
