Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Monday

Mirror Monday's data into Dynamo DB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Monday through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Dynamo DB.

Stacksync mirrors Updates, Users, Workspaces, Boards from Monday into Global Tables, Tables, Items, Attributes in Dynamo DB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Monday, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push support tickets or orders from an operational database into monday.com Items, then read status Column values back when work completes.
  • 02 Sync Updates and status changes from monday.com into a database so downstream tools and dashboards react to project progress in near real time.
  • 03 Replace ad-hoc export scripts with continuous sync driven by DynamoDB Streams.
  • 04 Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Monday with a query

Records from Monday are ordinary rows in Dynamo DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Monday from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Dynamo DB and Stacksync propagates the change into Monday, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Monday

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 Monday objects How this pairing syncs
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Items Rows within a board and the primary record; synced two-way and created, updated, archived, or deleted via GraphQL mutations. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Boards Table-like containers that hold items; each board maps to a synced table, and its columns define the field mapping. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Boards to Monday — 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. Subitems Nested rows under items, stored on a separate hidden board; synced as a child table linked to the parent item. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Subitems to Monday — 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. Column values Typed fields (status, date, people, numbers, connect-boards); polymorphic JSON usually written together via change_multiple_column_values. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Column values to Monday — 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. Groups Named sections that group items inside a board; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Groups to Monday — 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. Updates Comment and activity threads attached to items; read out into a database for reporting or written back as notes. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Updates to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Monday

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

Monday Dynamo DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionMonday notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Board-scoped webhooks (create_item, change_column_value, item_deleted, and similar) for real-time events.

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.
  • Monday: Complexity-budget limits: a single query caps at 5M complexity points and ~10M points/min per user token (1M on trial/free) over a sliding 60s window.
