Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Mixpanel

Give Mixpanel the users, events, and records that live in Dynamo DB in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Mixpanel computes back into Dynamo DB where your applications read them.

Mixpanel is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Dynamo DB, so Dynamo DB always reflects the current state of Mixpanel — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Mixpanel is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Dynamo DB into Mixpanel usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export raw Events and User Profiles into Postgres or a warehouse so product usage can be joined with CRM and billing data in SQL.
  • 02 Pull Cohort membership into an operational database to drive lifecycle email and in-app targeting from a single source.
  • 03 Mirror SaaS objects into DynamoDB items to serve low-latency lookups from production services.
  • 04 Consolidate multi-region Global Tables data into a single reporting store.

Common sync patterns

Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline

The users, events, orders, and records stored in Dynamo DB land in Mixpanel as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.

One version of each user or account

A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Mixpanel because they sync from Dynamo DB as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Mixpanel

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 Mixpanel objects How this pairing syncs
Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. Segmentation Property-based event breakdowns from the Query API, returned as time-series aggregates for reporting. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Segmentation to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Lookup Tables Dimension tables joined to events; capped at 100MB with 100 writes per 24h, so treated as reference data. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Dynamo DB and Lookup Tables to Mixpanel — 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. Lexicon Schemas Event and property definitions (metadata); read to reconcile the tracking plan against a warehouse schema. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Lexicon Schemas to Mixpanel — 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. Events Time-stamped user actions (live via /track, historical via /import); the primary dataset read out through the Raw Data Export API by date range. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Events to Mixpanel — 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. User Profiles People records (Engage) with properties like email, plan, and last-seen; read through the Engage/Query API and joined to event data. Items is specific to Dynamo DB and User Profiles to Mixpanel — 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. Group Profiles Account or workspace-level records from Group Analytics; read to roll event data up to a company or org dimension. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Group Profiles to Mixpanel — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Mixpanel

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 Mixpanel 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.

DeliveryMixpanel does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Mixpanel's output flows back as field updates on the originating Dynamo DB records.

Mixpanel Dynamo DB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Mixpanel for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: the Raw Data Export API is polled over an event-time date window (from_date/to_date).

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.
  • Mixpanel: Raw Data Export API allows 60 queries/hour, 3/second, and up to 100 concurrent; the Query API allows 60/hour with 5 concurrent; exceeding limits returns a 429.
