Why teams connect Amazon SES and MariaDB

Turn the messages, calls, and events Amazon SES handles into live rows in MariaDB, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like Amazon SES through APIs, which means auth tokens, webhooks, delivery callbacks, and rate limits, all maintained forever and all shaped differently for every tool. The data those tools produce, who was contacted, what was sent, and what came back, would be simple to use if it lived in MariaDB next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail), Contacts, Contact Lists, Email Templates from Amazon SES into Databases (Schemas), Tables, Views, Columns in MariaDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Communication activity lands in the database as ordinary rows you can query and join, and rows your code writes, such as a queued outbound message or an updated contact, flow back into Amazon SES so the tool and the database never disagree.

There is no webhook endpoint to host, no rate limit to babysit, and no nightly export that leaves your services reading yesterday's activity.

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 Two-way sync between a MariaDB application database and a CRM so both systems hold the same customer records
  • 04 Replicate ERP or billing master data into MariaDB databases that power customer-facing applications

Common sync patterns

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event Amazon SES records becomes rows in MariaDB, ready to query, join with your own data, and report on without touching the vendor API.

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in MariaDB and Stacksync propagates it into Amazon SES, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

One contact list across both

Recipients and contacts stay consistent between Amazon SES and MariaDB, so a phone number or email corrected on either side is current the next time either system uses it.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and MariaDB

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 MariaDB objects How this pairing syncs
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. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Primary and Unique Keys to MariaDB — 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. System-Versioned Tables Temporal tables that retain row history natively, useful for auditing synced changes. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and System-Versioned Tables to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contact Lists One list per AWS account, subdivided into Topics that group subscriptions; read and write via CreateContactList and GetContactList. JSON Columns Semi-structured payloads validated with JSON functions. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and JSON Columns to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Email Templates Reusable subject/HTML/text templates with replacement variables; synced via CreateEmailTemplate, GetEmailTemplate, ListEmailTemplates, and UpdateEmailTemplate. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Stored Procedures to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppression List Addresses auto-added on bounce or complaint; read with ListSuppressedDestinations and written with Put/DeleteSuppressedDestination to control re-sends. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Databases (Schemas) to MariaDB — 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). Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Tables to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and MariaDB

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

MariaDB Amazon SES Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

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.
  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
