Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and InterSystems IRIS

Keep AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and InterSystems IRIS 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 PostgreSQL and InterSystems IRIS 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 Expose ERP records such as customers, orders, and invoices as Postgres tables the engineering team can query and update with plain SQL.
  • 02 Capture row-level changes with logical replication and propagate them to SaaS tools without batch jobs.
  • 03 Keep reference data consistent between an IRIS-based clinical or financial application and downstream SaaS tools
  • 04 Write enriched or corrected records from SaaS apps back into IRIS tables for on-platform processing

Common sync patterns

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.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

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

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and InterSystems IRIS

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 InterSystems IRIS objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. 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. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Views to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Schemas to InterSystems IRIS — 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. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Persistent Classes to InterSystems IRIS — 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. Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Globals to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Namespaces to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and InterSystems IRIS

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 InterSystems IRIS 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 InterSystems IRIS as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

InterSystems IRIS AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InterSystems IRIS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling (timestamp or query-based).

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