Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Magento

Give your engineers Magento's products, orders, and customers in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Carts / quotes, Products, Configurable / variant products, Categories from Magento into AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Magento holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Magento with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.
  • 02 Feed operational dashboards from a read replica while the writer handles sync traffic.
  • 03 Sync Orders, invoices, and shipments from Magento into Postgres or a warehouse for revenue, margin, and fulfillment-SLA reporting.
  • 04 Master Products, prices, and Category assignments in an ERP or PIM and write them into Magento's catalog by SKU.

Common sync patterns

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from AWS Aurora PostgreSQL back into Magento, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Magento, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Magento

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 Magento objects How this pairing syncs
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Configurable / variant products Parent configurable products link to simple product variants by attribute; synced so size/color SKUs and their prices stay aligned with source systems. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Configurable / variant products to Magento — 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. Categories Catalog tree and product-to-category assignments; written into Magento to control merchandising and read out for taxonomy reporting. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Categories to Magento — 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. Orders Sales orders with line items, totals, and status; typically read out of Magento into a warehouse or ERP for fulfillment and revenue reporting. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Orders to Magento — 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. Customers Customer accounts and address book; synced two-way with a CRM so order history and contact records stay consistent. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Customers to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Inventory source items (MSI) Per-source stock quantities under Multi-Source Inventory; written from a WMS/ERP so storefront stock matches the warehouse. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Inventory source items (MSI) to Magento — 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. Invoices Invoice documents tied to orders; read out for finance and revenue recognition, or created via the sales API when billing downstream. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Invoices to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Magento

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

Magento AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionMagento notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with searchCriteria filters on updated_at (catalog, sales, and customer entities carry created_at/updated_at).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Magento: No fixed request-per-minute cap on PaaS/on-prem; responses page via searchCriteria pageSize/currentPage under a default maximum page size of 300 (Web API Input Limits), with /async/bulk endpoints for large writes.
