Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Openai

Sync the records in Dynamo DB into Openai and land its embeddings, classifications, and generated fields back on the same rows, in real time and without a pipeline to maintain.

Openai 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 Openai — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

AI systems do not hold customers or invoices the way business apps do. What they hold is derived from your data: the vectors and metadata in a vector store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was given. Dynamo DB is where those source records actually live. The bridge between the two is the row itself, since an item in Openai and the record in Dynamo DB it describes are two halves of the same thing, and they drift the moment one is updated without the other.

Stacksync syncs Attributes, Partition and Sort Keys, Global Secondary Indexes, DynamoDB Streams in Dynamo DB with Fine-tuning jobs, Files, Batch jobs, Vector stores in Openai in real time. Rows created or changed in Dynamo DB flow into Openai so inference and embedding run on current data, and the scores, labels, and generated fields Openai produces flow back onto the matching rows in Dynamo DB, mapped field by field. A change on either side appears on the other within seconds, with no extraction job or webhook plumbing to keep alive.

Because matching is by a stable identifier, every row in Dynamo DB stays tied to its AI-side counterpart in Openai. Retrieval, enrichment, and generated content always resolve back to the record they came from, so there are no orphaned vectors and no labels describing a version of a row that no longer exists.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror organization Projects, members, and service accounts into a database as an auditable access inventory for security reviews.
  • 02 Stream OpenAI audit-log events into a SIEM or operational database for compliance monitoring of key changes, logins, and project edits.
  • 03 Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.
  • 04 Mirror SaaS objects into DynamoDB items to serve low-latency lookups from production services.

Common sync patterns

Write results back onto the record

Scores, labels, extracted fields, or generated text produced in Openai land on the matching row in Dynamo DB, next to the source data your applications already query.

Keep derived data fresh as sources change

When a row in Dynamo DB is updated or removed, its counterpart in Openai is updated or removed too, so nothing in Openai describes a record that has since changed or gone.

Backfill once, then stay in step

Load your existing rows from Dynamo DB into Openai to build the index or enrichment set, then let ongoing changes sync automatically instead of re-running the whole job.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Openai

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 Openai objects How this pairing syncs
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Files Uploaded training, validation, and batch-input files plus generated output files; listed and read by ID, not written back as business records in sync. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Files to Openai — 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. Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs within a 24-hour window, with status and output/error file IDs; completion detected by the batch.completed webhook or by polling. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Batch jobs to Openai — 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. Vector stores File collections backing file-search retrieval, with name, file counts, usage bytes, and status; read as a metadata inventory of retrieval assets. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Vector stores to Openai — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Usage & Costs Per-model and per-project token, request, and dollar figures from the Administration Usage and Costs endpoints, read for FinOps chargeback and spend reporting. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Dynamo DB and Usage & Costs to Openai — 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. Projects & Members Organization projects, their members, and service accounts from the Administration API; read as an access-and-ownership inventory. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Projects & Members to Openai — 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. Audit logs Organization audit-log events (API-key changes, logins, project edits) from the Administration API; read for compliance and security monitoring. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Audit logs to Openai — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Openai

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 Openai 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.

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

Openai Dynamo DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionOpenai notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Push webhooks (Standard Webhooks spec, whsec_ signing secret) fire on batch.completed, fine_tuning.job.succeeded/failed, response.completed/failed,.

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.
  • Openai: Rate limits are set per organization and per project as RPM/RPD and TPM/TPD and rise across five spend-based usage tiers; responses carry x-ratelimit-remaining headers and return HTTP 429 on breach.
