Why teams connect Amazon S3 and SingleStore

Keep SingleStore and Amazon S3 in step: a row in SingleStore 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 SingleStore 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 Indexes and Shard Keys, Databases, Tables (rowstore and columnstore), Views in SingleStore with Object versions, Prefixes (folders), Multipart uploads, Buckets 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 Mirror CRM and SaaS objects into SingleStore tables to serve low-latency operational dashboards.
  • 02 Sync results of real-time analytical queries back into business tools where teams act on them.
  • 03 Mirror Objects under a given Bucket and prefix into another bucket, region, or a warehouse external stage for backup or downstream processing.
  • 04 Trigger a database or ERP record update the moment an S3 Event Notification fires an object-created event, for example when a partner drops an EDI or invoice file into an inbound prefix.

Common sync patterns

A queryable index of the file store

Every file or object in Amazon S3 shows up as a row in SingleStore, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in SingleStore write back to the matching file's metadata in Amazon S3, and metadata changed in Amazon S3 updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.

Records that point at documents

Where a record in SingleStore 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.

What you can sync between Amazon S3 and SingleStore

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 SingleStore 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. Tables (rowstore and columnstore) Primary read/write target; storage type affects whether a table suits point lookups or scans. Object metadata is specific to Amazon S3 and Tables (rowstore and columnstore) to SingleStore — 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 projections used as curated sync sources. Object tags is specific to Amazon S3 and Views to SingleStore — 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. Reference Tables Small tables replicated to every node, often used for dimension data in syncs. Object versions is specific to Amazon S3 and Reference Tables to SingleStore — 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. Pipelines Native ingestion jobs from Kafka or object storage that coexist with external syncs. Prefixes (folders) is specific to Amazon S3 and Pipelines to SingleStore — 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. Stored Procedures Existing logic sometimes invoked on write paths. Multipart uploads is specific to Amazon S3 and Stored Procedures to SingleStore — 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. Indexes and Shard Keys Determine data distribution and lookup speed for sync match keys. Buckets is specific to Amazon S3 and Indexes and Shard Keys to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon S3 and SingleStore

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

SingleStore Amazon S3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SingleStore for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or watermark columns.

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.
  • SingleStore: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by workspace or cluster size.

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
