Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MongoDB

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

Teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MongoDB when relational and document workloads must share the same data. MongoDB Collections and Documents sync into Aurora tables for SQL joins and reporting, while rows from Aurora appear as Documents for services built on MongoDB.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MongoDB 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 Run SQL analytics and joins on data that originates in MongoDB Collections.
  • 02 Serve a MongoDB-based application from records mastered in Aurora PostgreSQL.
  • 03 Flatten embedded documents and arrays into relational views for BI tools.
  • 04 Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.

Common sync patterns

Documents to rows

MongoDB Documents, including embedded documents and arrays, sync into Aurora PostgreSQL tables with columns mapped for SQL access.

Relational to collections

Aurora rows replicate into MongoDB Collections so document-oriented services read current data.

Schema-aligned sync

Collections map to tables with primary keys and indexes maintained on both sides.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MongoDB

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 MongoDB objects How this pairing syncs
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Collections to MongoDB — 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. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Documents to MongoDB — 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. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Embedded documents and arrays to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Indexes to MongoDB — 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. Views Read-only aggregation-defined sources for filtered sync datasets. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Views to MongoDB — 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. Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture. Databases and schemas is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Change streams to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MongoDB

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

MongoDB AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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