Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Workday

Work with Workday'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.

Connecting Workday to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL gives internal systems direct SQL access to HR and finance data. Workday Workers, Positions, and Compensation records replicate into Aurora Tables, so downstream applications read current workforce data without custom Workday integrations.

Stacksync mirrors Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS) from Workday into Foreign keys, Replication slots and publications, Databases and schemas, Tables 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 Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Drive employee provisioning and deprovisioning from an Aurora Table kept current with Workday Workers.
  • 02 Report on Time Off and Absence balances with SQL instead of Workday report extracts.
  • 03 Join Payroll Results to cost data already stored in Aurora Rows for budgeting.
  • 04 Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.

Common sync patterns

Worker roster sync

Workday Workers and Positions replicate into Aurora Tables that identity and provisioning systems query.

Compensation and payroll reporting

Workday Compensation and Payroll Results land as Aurora Rows for finance analysis under database access controls.

Org structure mirror

Workday Organizations sync to Aurora Tables powering internal org charts and approvals routing.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Workday

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 Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Compensation to Workday — 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. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Primary keys and constraints is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Time Off and Absence to Workday — 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. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Views and materialized views is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Payroll Results to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Suppliers to Workday — 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. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Replication slots and publications is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Customers and Invoices to Workday — 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. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Databases and schemas is specific to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Workday

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

Workday AWS Aurora PostgreSQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

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