Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Front

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

Teams connect Front to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL to move customer-communication data into a database they control. Conversations, Messages, and Contacts sync into Aurora tables where support analytics, SLA reporting, and internal applications can query them with SQL.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Inboxes, Tags, Teammates from Front into Replication slots and publications, Databases and schemas, Tables, Rows in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL 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 Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Join Front Conversations with product data already in Aurora to see which accounts generate the most support load.
  • 02 Keep Front Contacts aligned with a customer master table maintained in PostgreSQL.
  • 03 Retain full Message history in Aurora beyond what teams browse in the Front UI.
  • 04 Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.

Common sync patterns

Conversation warehouse

Front Conversations and Messages replicate into Aurora PostgreSQL tables for SQL-based support analytics.

Contact enrichment writeback

Contact and Account records updated in Aurora rows sync back to Front for agents.

Inbox load reporting

Inboxes and Comments sync to Aurora so views can track response volume per team.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Front

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 PostgreSQL objects Front objects How this pairing syncs
Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Inboxes to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Tags to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Teammates to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases and schemas PostgreSQL's two-level namespace scopes which tables a sync connection targets. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Databases and schemas is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Channels to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Tables is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Conversations to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Messages to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Front

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 PostgreSQL Front 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 Front through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Front AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionFront notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling.

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

Rate-limit considerations
