Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Egnyte

Keep Dynamo DB and Egnyte in step: a row in Dynamo DB for every file in Egnyte, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in Dynamo DB says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Egnyte holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Global Secondary Indexes, DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables in Dynamo DB with Groups, Permissions, Links, Metadata in Egnyte bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.
  • 02 Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Egnyte Users and Groups from an HRIS or IdP so folder access follows employee onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Egnyte and an operational database or another content store, keeping the folder hierarchy aligned.

Common sync patterns

Records that point at documents

Where a record in Dynamo DB references a file in Egnyte, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Egnyte become rows in Dynamo DB as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

Continuous archival to file storage

Rows from Dynamo DB are written out to Egnyte as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Egnyte

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.

Dynamo DB objects Egnyte objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Folders Folder hierarchy managed via the fs endpoint (create, move, rename, delete); the tree structure is mirrored during sync. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Folders to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Users Accounts managed via the Users API; provisioned, updated, and deactivated in sync with an HRIS or identity provider. Items is specific to Dynamo DB and Users to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Groups to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Permissions to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Links Shared file and folder links created, listed, and revoked via the Links API; useful for governing and auditing external sharing. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Links to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Metadata Custom metadata keys and project fields on files/folders via the Metadata API; written for classification and read back for reporting. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Dynamo DB and Metadata to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Egnyte

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.

Dynamo DB Egnyte Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Dynamo DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration.

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

Egnyte Dynamo DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionEgnyte notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API polled with an incremental cursor (Egnyte recommends an interval of 5 minutes or more), or Webhooks push notifications for fs, metadata,.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dynamo DB: Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode.
  • Egnyte: Auto-generated keys default to 2 requests/second and 1,000 requests/day, enforced per access token; monitor X-Accesstoken-Qps-Current/Allotted and X-Accesstoken-Quota-Current headers; higher limits on request.
