Why teams connect AWS S3 and SAP Hana

Connect SAP Hana and AWS S3 with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want SAP Hana's rows in AWS S3, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in SAP Hana where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in SAP Hana sync into AWS S3 in real time, and result tables in AWS S3 sync back into SAP Hana, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Ingest partner or vendor file drops (CSV, JSON, Parquet) from a bucket into a database or CRM as records.
  • 02 Export synced operational data to S3 as files feeding a data lake or downstream batch jobs.
  • 03 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.
  • 04 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.

Common sync patterns

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in AWS S3 and keep SAP Hana focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from SAP Hana land in AWS S3 as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in AWS S3 sync into SAP Hana, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between AWS S3 and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Multipart Uploads The mechanism used to write large export files reliably. Triggers AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers capture changes into a shadow/logging table so updates and deletes are detected near-real-time without full scans. Multipart Uploads is specific to AWS S3 and Triggers to SAP Hana — 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. System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. Buckets is specific to AWS S3 and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — 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. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Objects is specific to AWS S3 and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — 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. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Prefixes is specific to AWS S3 and Column store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Object Metadata is specific to AWS S3 and Row store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Versions Prior copies retained when versioning is enabled, relevant for reprocessing. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Object Versions is specific to AWS S3 and Calculation views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS S3 and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana AWS S3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

How the AWS S3 and SAP Hana connectors work

AWS S3

Integration surface
REST API (the S3 API), accessed directly or through AWS SDKs
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 signing; commonly a role scoped to specific buckets and prefixes

SAP Hana

Integration surface
SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
Change detection
Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table; system-versioned temporal tables and SLT/SDI provide trigger- and log-based CDC. No native webhooks.
