Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and Azure SQL Database

Keep AWS Aurora MySQL and Azure SQL Database synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between AWS Aurora MySQL and Azure SQL Database continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync a production Aurora cluster with an analytics database while filtering out sensitive columns.
  • 02 Let operations teams edit records in a spreadsheet-style tool with changes written back to Aurora safely.
  • 03 Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.
  • 04 Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.

Common sync patterns

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both AWS Aurora MySQL and Azure SQL Database, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL and Azure SQL Database

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.

AWS Aurora MySQL objects Azure SQL Database objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync unit; each table maps one-to-one to a table or object in the paired system. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Can serve as read-only sync sources for derived or filtered datasets. Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Stored procedures and triggers Existing database logic keeps firing on rows written by a sync. Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Stored procedures to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases (schemas) Logical namespaces that scope which tables a sync connection can see. Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Databases (schemas) is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Change tracking / CDC tables to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted individually or in bulk during two-way syncs. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Schemas to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns MySQL data types are mapped to the paired system's field types during schema setup. Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Rows and columns to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora MySQL and Azure SQL Database

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.

AWS Aurora MySQL Azure SQL Database Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in AWS Aurora MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via the MySQL binary log (binlog), with polling on timestamp columns as a fallback.

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

Azure SQL Database AWS Aurora MySQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure SQL Database are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database.

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