Why teams connect Amazon S3 and Tinybird

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

Tinybird 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 Tinybird, or a result in Tinybird 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 Data Sources, Pipes, API Endpoints, Materialized Views in Tinybird with Prefixes (folders), Multipart uploads, Buckets, Objects 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 Stream CRM activity such as deals and tickets into Tinybird Data Sources to power customer-facing dashboards.
  • 02 Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Reconcile Object versions and delete markers into an audit table so teams track when files under a compliance prefix were added, replaced, or removed.

Common sync patterns

One dataset, kept consistent both ways

Where the same dataset lives as a file in Amazon S3 and a table in Tinybird, 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 Data Sources, Pipes, API Endpoints, Materialized Views in Tinybird, so file metadata can be joined against the rest of your data and reported on.

Where Tinybird computes the labels: push them onto the files

Classifications, scores, or status derived in Tinybird are written back onto the matching Prefixes (folders), Multipart uploads, Buckets, Objects in Amazon S3 as metadata or tags, so the file store reflects what analytics decided.

What you can sync between Amazon S3 and Tinybird

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 Tinybird objects How this pairing syncs
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. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. Multipart uploads is specific to Amazon S3 and API Endpoints to Tinybird — 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. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. Buckets is specific to Amazon S3 and Materialized Views to Tinybird — 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. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. Objects is specific to Amazon S3 and Workspaces to Tinybird — 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. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. Object metadata is specific to Amazon S3 and Tokens to Tinybird — 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. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. Object tags is specific to Amazon S3 and Data Sources to Tinybird — 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. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. Object versions is specific to Amazon S3 and Pipes to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon S3 and Tinybird

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

Tinybird Amazon S3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.

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.
  • Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.

How the Amazon S3 and Tinybird 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.

Tinybird

Integration surface
REST API (Events API for ingestion, published query endpoints) with a ClickHouse SQL dialect
Authentication
Scoped auth tokens
Change detection
Append-oriented ingestion; reads are pulled by querying published endpoints, no outbound CDC
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.
