Why teams connect Dynamo DB and PagerDuty

Keep Dynamo DB and PagerDuty in step: the rows in your database and the Schedules, Escalation Policies, On-Calls, Notes and Log Entries your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Dynamo DB is where your application's durable data lives; PagerDuty 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 DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables, Items in Dynamo DB with Schedules, Escalation Policies, On-Calls, Notes and Log Entries in PagerDuty 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 Consolidate multi-region Global Tables data into a single reporting store.
  • 02 Replace ad-hoc export scripts with continuous sync driven by DynamoDB Streams.
  • 03 Provision and deactivate Users and Team memberships two-way from an HRIS or identity provider so the on-call roster matches the current org.
  • 04 Write Schedules and Escalation Policies from a workforce tool or source-of-truth spreadsheet so rotations and overrides stay consistent across teams.

Common sync patterns

Where PagerDuty manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in PagerDuty 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 PagerDuty, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from PagerDuty arrive in Dynamo DB as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and PagerDuty

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 PagerDuty objects How this pairing syncs
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Escalation Policies Ordered rules routing incidents to users and schedules; read and written two-way to codify paging logic from a source of truth. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Escalation Policies to PagerDuty — 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. On-Calls Computed view of who is on call now, derived from schedules and escalation policies; read-only, ideal for pushing current responders into other systems. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and On-Calls to PagerDuty — 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. Notes and Log Entries Notes are writable to append context to an incident; log entries are a read-only record of every action taken on that incident. Items is specific to Dynamo DB and Notes and Log Entries to PagerDuty — 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. Incidents Core records with status of triggered, acknowledged, or resolved plus urgency and assignments; created, updated, and resolved two-way, with V3 webhooks firing on each transition. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Incidents to PagerDuty — 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. Services Technical services that group incidents and hold integration keys; read and written two-way, with service.created, service.updated, and service.deleted webhook events. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Services to PagerDuty — 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. Users Responders with contact methods and notification rules; provisioned and updated two-way to keep the on-call roster aligned with an HRIS or identity provider. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Users to PagerDuty — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and PagerDuty

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

PagerDuty Dynamo DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionPagerDuty notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V3 webhook subscriptions push incident.* and service.* events (triggered, acknowledged, escalated, resolved, created, updated).

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.
  • PagerDuty: REST API allows 960 requests per minute per token and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; the Events API is rate-limited separately per integration key.
