Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Newrelic

Keep AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

AWS Aurora PostgreSQL is where your application's durable data lives; Newrelic is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Foreign keys, Replication slots and publications, Databases and schemas, Tables in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL with Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed operational dashboards from a read replica while the writer handles sync traffic.
  • 02 Expose ERP records such as customers, orders, and invoices as Postgres tables the engineering team can query and update with plain SQL.
  • 03 Provision Synthetics Monitors from a service catalog and read their results via NRQL for availability and latency reporting in SQL.
  • 04 Provision and update Dashboards and Alert Policies from a config repository or database through NerdGraph so definitions stay versioned and consistent across accounts and environments.

Common sync patterns

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Newrelic stay matched to the users or owners table in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL creates or updates the matching record in Newrelic, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Newrelic arrive in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Newrelic

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 Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Change Tracking (Deployments) Deployment and change markers recorded through NerdGraph changeTrackingCreateDeployment; written from CI/CD to annotate charts, and read back via NRQL on the Deployment event for release correlation. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — 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. Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via NerdGraph dashboardCreate/dashboardUpdate/dashboardDelete mutations and entity queries, with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit or provisioned and updated programmatically from a source of truth. Databases and schemas is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Dashboards to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The core sync unit; rows are matched across systems by primary key. Alert Policies & Conditions Alert policies and NRQL alert conditions managed through NerdGraph alertsPolicy and alertsNrqlCondition mutations with full create, update, and delete; read out for audit or provisioned from a config source so alerting stays consistent across accounts. Tables is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. NRQL Query Results Telemetry events, metrics, logs, and spans queried through NerdGraph's nrql field (or the legacy Insights query API) over time windows; read-only and bounded by data retention, commonly streamed into a warehouse for long-term analysis. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — 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. Entities The entity catalog of APM applications, hosts, services, and monitors searched via NerdGraph entitySearch; read for inventory, with tags added or replaced through taggingAddTagsToEntity so ownership and environment metadata stay in sync. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Entities to Newrelic — 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. Workloads Workload groupings of related entities via NerdGraph workloadCreate/workloadUpdate/workloadDelete with full CRUD; read for status rollups or provisioned from a service catalog to keep team-level views current. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Workloads to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Newrelic

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

Newrelic AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.

Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
Change detection
NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans); config objects such as dashboards, alert policies, and workloads carry no modified-date and are diffed on each run. Alert workflows can push outbound webhook notifications for near-real-time alerting. No CDC feed.
