Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and IBM Db2

Keep AWS Aurora MySQL and IBM Db2 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 IBM Db2 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 Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.
  • 04 Feed changes captured from Db2 logs into downstream event pipelines.

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 IBM Db2, 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 IBM Db2

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 IBM Db2 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 Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. 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 often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted individually or in bulk during two-way syncs. Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Stored Procedures to IBM Db2 — 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. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Sequences to IBM Db2 — 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. Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. Primary keys and indexes is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Tablespaces to IBM Db2 — 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. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Databases to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora MySQL and IBM Db2

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 IBM Db2 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 IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM Db2 AWS Aurora MySQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
