Why teams connect Auth0 and AWS Aurora PostgreSQL

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Auth0 share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Auth0 is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. AWS Aurora PostgreSQL holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.

Stacksync syncs Replication slots and publications, Databases and schemas, Tables, Rows in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL with Organizations, Organization Members, Connections, Clients (Applications) in Auth0 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.
  • 02 Feed operational dashboards from a read replica while the writer handles sync traffic.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Users and Organization Members from an HRIS or CRM — create accounts and assign Roles on hire, delete on offboarding.
  • 04 Replicate Roles and Resource Server scopes into a database to audit which Users hold which permissions across every Application.

Common sync patterns

Provision accounts from the source of truth

When a person is added to the employee, member, or customer table in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, Stacksync creates the matching user in Auth0 with the right attributes, so access starts from live data instead of a manual ticket.

Deprovision the moment the record changes

When someone is marked inactive or removed in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, the matching account in Auth0 is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Auth0 land in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.

What you can sync between Auth0 and AWS Aurora PostgreSQL

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.

Auth0 objects AWS Aurora PostgreSQL objects How this pairing syncs
Organizations B2B customer tenants under /api/v2/organizations; synced two-way with a CRM or customer database to keep account records aligned with Auth0 orgs. Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Organizations is specific to Auth0 and Tables to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organization Members Membership records linking Users to Organizations with roles; written to provision and deprovision access as accounts change. Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Organization Members is specific to Auth0 and Rows to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connections Identity-provider configs (database, social, enterprise SAML/OIDC); typically read out to inventory how each tenant authenticates. Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Connections is specific to Auth0 and Columns to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clients (Applications) Registered applications and their metadata under /api/v2/clients; mirrored to a database for app and credential inventories. Primary keys and constraints Identify rows for upserts and enforce integrity on sync writes. Clients (Applications) is specific to Auth0 and Primary keys and constraints to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Resource Servers (APIs) API definitions and their scopes; synced so permission catalogs used for access reviews stay current. Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Resource Servers (APIs) is specific to Auth0 and Views and materialized views to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Log Events Tenant events (logins, signups, failed logins, admin changes) from /api/v2/logs; read-only, streamed into a warehouse for security analytics. Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Log Events is specific to Auth0 and Foreign keys to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Auth0 and AWS Aurora PostgreSQL

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.

Auth0 AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionAuth0 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge.

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

AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Auth0 Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication (WAL decoding through replication slots), with timestamp polling as a fallback.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Auth0 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Auth0: Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling.

How the Auth0 and AWS Aurora PostgreSQL connectors work

Auth0

Integration surface
Management API v2 (REST); Authentication API issues the access token
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials from a machine-to-machine application; scoped Bearer JWT where each operation needs its own scope (e.g. read:users, create:users, update:users) or returns 403
Change detection
Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge; polling falls back to the Get Users search filtered on updated_at
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling

AWS Aurora PostgreSQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible), standard Postgres drivers and JDBC
Authentication
Database credentials, optionally AWS IAM database authentication, over TLS
Change detection
Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication (WAL decoding through replication slots), with timestamp polling as a fallback
