Why teams connect Amazon SES and Apache Pinot

Land the messages, calls, and events from Amazon SES in Apache Pinot as live tables, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Amazon SES produces a constant stream of activity — messages sent and received, calls placed and answered, meetings held, and the delivery and engagement events attached to them. That record is what the rest of the company wants to analyze, and it usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay to get it out.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Contact Lists, Email Templates, Suppression List from Amazon SES into tables in Apache Pinot in real time, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the connection works in both directions, results computed in Apache Pinot — segments, contact updates, suppression flags — can be written back into fields in Amazon SES wherever it exposes them, so analysis lands where outreach actually happens.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Contacts and their topic subscription state between the SES contact list and a Postgres database or CRM so opt-outs propagate in both directions.
  • 02 Push warehouse or CRM audience segments into SES as Contacts using CreateContact or a bulk CreateImportJob (up to 1M contacts per job) to feed marketing sends.
  • 03 Query per-account usage metrics from Pinot and sync them into CRM fields so sales sees product activity.
  • 04 Push reference and dimension data into Pinot via batch segment loads to enrich event queries.

Common sync patterns

Activity joined with everything else

Combine Amazon SES's activity with the CRM, product, and support data already in Apache Pinot to attribute outcomes to the touches that drove them, which no single tool can do alone.

Where Amazon SES accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, contact fields, or suppression flags computed in Apache Pinot sync back onto records in Amazon SES, putting warehouse analysis where the outreach happens.

Queryable history that outlives retention

A continuously synced copy in Apache Pinot preserves messages, call logs, and events for reporting and audit even as they age out of Amazon SES or get purged inside it.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Apache Pinot

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 SES objects Apache Pinot objects How this pairing syncs
Suppression List Addresses auto-added on bounce or complaint; read with ListSuppressedDestinations and written with Put/DeleteSuppressedDestination to control re-sends. Real-time Tables Tables fed continuously from streams like Kafka, including upsert-enabled tables. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Real-time Tables to Apache Pinot — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Verified Identities Email-address and domain identities cleared to send; managed via CreateEmailIdentity, ListEmailIdentities, GetEmailIdentity (DKIM and verification status). Offline Tables Batch-loaded tables merged with real-time data at query time. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Offline Tables to Apache Pinot — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Configuration Sets Named send-time rule groups that attach event destinations, IP pools, and suppression options; managed via Create/List ConfigurationSet operations. Indexes Inverted, range, and star-tree indexes that determine which sync queries run at low latency. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Indexes to Apache Pinot — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sending Events Per-message send, delivery, bounce, complaint, open, and click events; not on any API, read from a configuration-set event destination (SNS/EventBridge/Firehose). Tenants Logical groupings that isolate workloads on shared clusters. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and Tenants to Apache Pinot — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) Outbound email is produced via SendEmail and SendBulkEmail, accepting raw MIME or a template plus destination list. Send-only; there is no message store to read back. Tables The queryable unit, defined as offline, real-time, or hybrid; the main read target. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Tables to Apache Pinot — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Subscribers in the contact list with per-topic opt-in state; CRUD via CreateContact/ListContacts/UpdateContact/DeleteContact, each carrying a LastUpdatedTimestamp for polling. Schemas Column definitions (dimensions, metrics, time columns) mapped during integration setup. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and Schemas to Apache Pinot — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Apache Pinot

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 SES Apache Pinot Sub-second propagation

DetectionAmazon SES notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Message events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) are pushed in near real time through configuration-set event destinations.

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

Apache Pinot Amazon SES Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Pinot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data enters Pinot via streaming ingestion or segment upload, not row-level writes.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon SES: Every SES API action except SendEmail, SendRawEmail, and SendTemplatedEmail is throttled to 1 request/second per Region; the send rate and 24-hour sending quota are account-specific, adjustable, and per Region.
  • Apache Pinot: No fixed API quotas; query throughput depends on broker and server sizing.
