Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MariaDB

Keep AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MariaDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MariaDB when applications span both engines and need consistent data. Tables, rows, and views sync across the two databases so a service on MariaDB and one on Aurora read the same records, including MariaDB system-versioned tables where history matters.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MariaDB 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 Migrate from MariaDB to Aurora PostgreSQL incrementally while both stay live.
  • 02 Serve read workloads from one engine while writes continue on the other.
  • 03 Keep column and key definitions aligned across the two schemas without manual DDL work.
  • 04 Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.

Common sync patterns

Cross-engine table sync

Tables and rows replicate between Aurora PostgreSQL and MariaDB databases (schemas) with primary and unique keys respected.

Legacy app coexistence

a MariaDB-backed application stays current while new services read the same data from Aurora views.

History-aware replication

MariaDB system-versioned tables sync to Aurora so temporal records are queryable in PostgreSQL.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MariaDB

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 MariaDB objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. 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. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Stored Procedures to MariaDB — 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. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Databases and schemas is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Databases (Schemas) to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Views to MariaDB — 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. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Primary and Unique Keys to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MariaDB

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

MariaDB AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
