Why teams connect Amazon SES and Vertica

Land the messages, calls, and events from Amazon SES in Vertica 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 Configuration Sets, Sending Events, Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail), Contacts from Amazon SES into tables in Vertica in real time, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the connection works in both directions, results computed in Vertica — 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 Consolidate data from multiple operational databases into Vertica schemas for enterprise BI.
  • 04 Sync CRM accounts and opportunities into Vertica to join with large-scale behavioral or telemetry data.

Common sync patterns

Engagement and delivery on live data

Sends, opens, clicks, bounces, and call outcomes from Amazon SES land in Vertica as they happen, so deliverability and response monitoring stop lagging the reality they describe.

Activity joined with everything else

Combine Amazon SES's activity with the CRM, product, and support data already in Vertica 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 Vertica sync back onto records in Amazon SES, putting warehouse analysis where the outreach happens.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Vertica

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 Vertica objects How this pairing syncs
Contact Lists One list per AWS account, subdivided into Topics that group subscriptions; read and write via CreateContactList and GetContactList. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Schemas to Vertica — 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. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Tables to Vertica — 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. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Projections to Vertica — 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). Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Views to Vertica — 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. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Flex Tables to Vertica — 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). External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and External Tables to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Vertica

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

Vertica Amazon SES Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.

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.
  • Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.

Amazon SES

Integration surface
AWS SES API v2 (REST/JSON over HTTPS) plus an SMTP sending interface

SQL over JDBC, ODBC, and ADO.NET drivers
Authentication
Database credentials, with LDAP, Kerberos, and OAuth options in enterprise deployments
Change detection
No exposed transaction-log CDC; polling on timestamp or epoch columns
