Why teams connect Amazon SES and YugabyteDB

Turn the messages, calls, and events Amazon SES handles into live rows in YugabyteDB, 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 YugabyteDB next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail), Contacts, Contact Lists, Email Templates from Amazon SES into Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas, Sequences in YugabyteDB 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 Stream SES sending events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) from a configuration-set event destination into a warehouse for deliverability reporting.
  • 02 Write bounced and complained addresses from the SES Suppression List back onto CRM and marketing records so other tools stop emailing them.
  • 03 Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.
  • 04 Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for every channel

Each communications tool looks like tables in the database, so adding email, voice, or messaging is configuration rather than a new codebase.

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event Amazon SES records becomes rows in YugabyteDB, 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 YugabyteDB and Stacksync propagates it into Amazon SES, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
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). Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and Sequences to YugabyteDB — 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. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and CDC Streams to YugabyteDB — 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. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — 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. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Tables to YugabyteDB — 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. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Indexes to YugabyteDB — 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. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Materialized Views to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and YugabyteDB

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

YugabyteDB Amazon SES Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

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.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
