Why teams connect AWS S3 and Exasol

Keep tables consistent across AWS S3 and Exasol, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between AWS S3 and Exasol continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export synced operational data to S3 as files feeding a data lake or downstream batch jobs.
  • 02 Trigger incremental sync runs from S3 event notifications when new files land in a prefix.
  • 03 Keep dimension tables such as customers and products aligned with the systems of record.
  • 04 Load CRM and ERP records into Exasol tables on a schedule so analysts query fresh operational data.

Common sync patterns

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

Migration without a big bang

When one platform is replacing the other, keep tables mirrored while workloads move over gradually, and cut over with nothing to backfill.

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

What you can sync between AWS S3 and Exasol

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 S3 objects Exasol objects How this pairing syncs
Event Notifications Notifications on object creation or deletion that trigger incremental processing. UDF scripts In-database functions that can transform synced data after load. Event Notifications is specific to AWS S3 and UDF scripts to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Access Points Scoped network endpoints used to grant a sync narrow access to a bucket. Users and roles Grant read/write access for the dedicated integration account. Access Points is specific to AWS S3 and Users and roles to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Multipart Uploads The mechanism used to write large export files reliably. Schemas Namespaces that group the tables a sync reads from or writes into. Multipart Uploads is specific to AWS S3 and Schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level containers a sync targets; region and policy are set at this level. Tables Primary sync target; columnar relational tables written with standard SQL. Buckets is specific to AWS S3 and Tables to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects The stored files (CSV, JSON, Parquet); syncs read them as datasets or write exports into them. Views Read-only query surfaces often used as curated sources for reverse ETL. Objects is specific to AWS S3 and Views to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. Virtual schemas Federated views over external sources; useful for deciding what needs physical replication. Prefixes is specific to AWS S3 and Virtual schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS S3 and Exasol

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 S3 Exasol Sub-second propagation

DetectionAWS S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

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

Exasol AWS S3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Exasol for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with timestamp or key columns.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to AWS S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • AWS S3: Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes.
  • Exasol: No API quota; concurrency is bounded by cluster resources and session limits.
