Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Greenplum

Connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Greenplum with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want AWS Aurora PostgreSQL's rows in Greenplum, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL sync into Greenplum in real time, and result tables in Greenplum sync back into AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed BI reporting by syncing curated Greenplum views to downstream tools on a schedule.
  • 02 Consolidate data from multiple source systems into partitioned Greenplum fact tables.
  • 03 Feed operational dashboards from a read replica while the writer handles sync traffic.
  • 04 Expose ERP records such as customers, orders, and invoices as Postgres tables the engineering team can query and update with plain SQL.

Common sync patterns

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Greenplum and keep AWS Aurora PostgreSQL focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from AWS Aurora PostgreSQL land in Greenplum as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Greenplum

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 Greenplum objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Tables Heap or append-optimized tables mapped directly to sync targets. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Rows Read and written by key; distribution keys determine where rows live. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Databases to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary keys and constraints Identify rows for upserts and enforce integrity on sync writes. Schemas Namespace tables and control which objects a sync can see. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Schemas to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Partitions Large tables are commonly partitioned by date, which shapes incremental reads. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Partitions to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Views Read-only projections used to shape data before syncing it out. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Views to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Greenplum

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 Greenplum 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 applied to Greenplum as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Greenplum AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Greenplum for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with timestamp or key-based cursors.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Greenplum: Bounded by cluster resources and concurrency settings rather than an API quota.
