Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Pendo

Give Pendo the users, events, and records that live in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Pendo computes back into AWS Aurora PostgreSQL where your applications read them.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Pendo is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from AWS Aurora PostgreSQL into Pendo usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Rows, Columns, Primary keys and constraints in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL with Poll / NPS Responses, Features / Pages / Guides (metadata), Visitors, Accounts in Pendo in real time and in both directions. Operational rows flow into Pendo as they change, so dashboards read current data with no pipeline to maintain, and the segments, cohorts, or scores Pendo computes flow back into AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, where the applications and services that read from it get them at normal query latency. Field-level mapping, schema and type translation, and conflict resolution are handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Load guide-engagement events into a reporting database to measure onboarding-flow adoption against retention and expansion.
  • 02 Export feature, page, and guide Events out of Pendo over event-time windows into Postgres or a warehouse so product usage joins with CRM, billing, and support data in SQL.
  • 03 Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.
  • 04 Feed operational dashboards from a read replica while the writer handles sync traffic.

Common sync patterns

Where Pendo builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Pendo sync back into AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.

Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline

The users, events, orders, and records stored in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL land in Pendo as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

One version of each user or account

A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Pendo

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 Pendo objects How this pairing syncs
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Accounts to Pendo — 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. Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Feature Events to Pendo — 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. Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Page Events to Pendo — 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. Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Guide Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Poll / NPS Responses to Pendo — 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. Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) Definitions of tagged UI elements listed through the entity endpoints; read-only reference used to label and join the event streams. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Pendo

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

Pendo AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
