Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Recurly

Work with Recurly's financial data straight from AWS Aurora PostgreSQL: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans, Invoices from Recurly into Columns, Primary keys and constraints, Views and materialized views, Foreign keys in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Recurly with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 02 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 03 Sync JSONB-heavy application data into structured objects in downstream business systems.
  • 04 Keep a customer-facing Aurora database aligned with an internal admin tool, with writes accepted on both sides.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on AWS Aurora PostgreSQL; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Recurly.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL propagate into Recurly, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Recurly appear in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Primary keys and constraints Identify rows for upserts and enforce integrity on sync writes. Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Accounts to Recurly — 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. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Plans to Recurly — 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 Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Invoices to Recurly — 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. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Databases and schemas is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Transactions to Recurly — 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. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Tables is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Recurly

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

Recurly AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
