Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Recurly

Work with Recurly's financial data straight from Dynamo DB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Plans, Invoices, Transactions, Line Items from Recurly into DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Tables, Items in Dynamo DB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Dynamo DB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Recurly with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 02 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 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

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Dynamo DB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Recurly.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Dynamo DB propagate into Recurly, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Recurly appear in Dynamo DB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Subscriptions to Recurly — 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. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Plans to Recurly — 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. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Items is specific to Dynamo DB and Invoices to Recurly — 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. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Transactions to Recurly — 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. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Line Items to Recurly — 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. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Recurly

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

Recurly Dynamo DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
