Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and Gainsight

Mirror Gainsight's data into AWS Aurora MySQL so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Gainsight through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in AWS Aurora MySQL.

Stacksync mirrors Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact from Gainsight into Foreign keys, Stored procedures and triggers, Databases (schemas), Tables in AWS Aurora MySQL and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 03 Stream row changes from Aurora into SaaS tools via binlog CDC instead of scheduled batch exports.
  • 04 Sync a production Aurora cluster with an analytics database while filtering out sensitive columns.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Gainsight with a query

Records from Gainsight are ordinary rows in AWS Aurora MySQL; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in AWS Aurora MySQL and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL and Gainsight

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 Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Columns MySQL data types are mapped to the paired system's field types during schema setup. Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Relationship to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary keys and indexes Used to match rows across systems and keep incremental syncs efficient. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Primary keys and indexes is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Can serve as read-only sync sources for derived or filtered datasets. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Views is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Express relationships that syncs preserve when mapping to related objects elsewhere. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures and triggers Existing database logic keeps firing on rows written by a sync. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Success Plan to Gainsight — 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. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Databases (schemas) is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora MySQL and Gainsight

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 Gainsight 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 written to Gainsight through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Gainsight AWS Aurora MySQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
