Why teams connect Dynamo DB and SAP Hana

Keep Dynamo DB and SAP Hana synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Dynamo DB and SAP Hana continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

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 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Schemas to SAP Hana — 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. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Sequences to SAP Hana — 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. Triggers AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers capture changes into a shadow/logging table so updates and deletes are detected near-real-time without full scans. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Triggers to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Dynamo DB and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — 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. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Global Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — 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. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Column store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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 applied to SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana Dynamo DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
