Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Jms

Keep Dynamo DB and Jms in step: the rows in your database and the Message headers and properties, Dead Letter Queue, Queue, Topic your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Dynamo DB is where your application's durable data lives; Jms is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Partition and Sort Keys, Global Secondary Indexes, DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables in Dynamo DB with Message headers and properties, Dead Letter Queue, Queue, Topic in Jms field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror SaaS objects into DynamoDB items to serve low-latency lookups from production services.
  • 02 Consolidate multi-region Global Tables data into a single reporting store.
  • 03 Fan out inventory or pricing updates onto a Topic with durable subscriptions so multiple services stay aligned even after downtime.
  • 04 Route messages by JMSType or application property using a message selector, landing high-priority messages in one table and the rest in another.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Jms arrive as row changes in Dynamo DB, and writes to Dynamo DB propagate to Jms within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Jms manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Jms stay matched to the users or owners table in Dynamo DB, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Dynamo DB creates or updates the matching record in Jms, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Jms

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 Jms objects How this pairing syncs
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Message headers and properties JMSCorrelationID, JMSReplyTo, JMSTimestamp, JMSType plus JMSX/application-defined properties; used for correlation, routing, and selector-based filtering. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Message headers and properties to Jms — 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. Dead Letter Queue Provider-managed destination (e.g. ActiveMQ.DLQ, IBM MQ dead-letter queue) where messages exceeding redelivery limits land; read to reconcile failed deliveries. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Dead Letter Queue to Jms — 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. Queue Point-to-point destination where each message is delivered to exactly one consumer. Stacksync consumes messages to load into a database, or publishes messages for a downstream Java service to process. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Queue to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Topic Publish/subscribe destination that fans each message out to every active subscriber. Stacksync subscribes to event streams or publishes records so multiple services react. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Dynamo DB and Topic to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. TextMessage Most common body type, carrying a String that is usually JSON or XML. Deserialized into rows/records on read and serialized from source records on write. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and TextMessage to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. MapMessage Body of typed name/value pairs that maps directly onto record fields, so no custom body parsing is needed on read or write. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and MapMessage to Jms — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Jms

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

Jms Dynamo DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionJms notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Asynchronous push — the broker delivers messages to registered consumers (MessageListener.onMessage) in real time, with no polling.

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.
  • Jms: JMS defines no protocol-level rate limits; throughput ceilings, consumer prefetch, and producer flow control are configured on the broker (ActiveMQ, IBM MQ, Solace, TIBCO EMS, etc.).

Proprietary JSON-over-HTTPS API accessed through AWS SDKs; PartiQL supported for SQL-like queries
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 request signing
Change detection
Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration
Capabilities

Rate limits
Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode

Jms

Integration surface
JMS / Jakarta Messaging API (classic API and simplified JMSContext) over provider transports such as OpenWire, AMQP, IBM MQ, or STOMP
Authentication
Username/password credentials passed to ConnectionFactory.createConnection(); ConnectionFactory and Destinations resolved via JNDI. Transport security (TLS) and stronger auth (SASL, JAAS, client certificates) are broker-implementation-specific.
Change detection
Asynchronous push — the broker delivers messages to registered consumers (MessageListener.onMessage) in real time, with no polling. Message selectors (an SQL-92 subset over headers/properties) filter delivery. There is no modified-date polling or CDC replay, and queue consumption is destructive.
Capabilities

Rate limits
JMS defines no protocol-level rate limits; throughput ceilings, consumer prefetch, and producer flow control are configured on the broker (ActiveMQ, IBM MQ, Solace, TIBCO EMS, etc.).
