Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Xactly

Treat Xactly like part of your database: its records live in Dynamo DB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Dynamo DB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Transactions (Commission & Bonus), Participants (Payees), Positions & Titles, Quotas / Targets from Xactly into Tables, Items, Attributes, Partition and Sort Keys in Dynamo DB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Xactly with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push approved Payment Summary amounts from Incent into a payroll or accounts-payable system so payouts are paid from the mastered comp result.
  • 02 Replicate Products and Customer/Account master from CRM/ERP into Xactly so crediting rules resolve against consistent reference data.
  • 03 Mirror SaaS objects into DynamoDB items to serve low-latency lookups from production services.
  • 04 Consolidate multi-region Global Tables data into a single reporting store.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Xactly API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Xactly arrive as row changes in Dynamo DB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Xactly become tables in Dynamo DB you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB and Xactly

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 Xactly objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Participants (Payees) Sales reps and payees keyed to positions; loaded and updated from HRIS/HCM source data through Connect (write) and read for roster reporting, so read and write. Tables is specific to Dynamo DB and Participants (Payees) to Xactly — 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. Positions & Titles Org-hierarchy positions and titles that credits and quotas roll up to; loaded and maintained through Connect (write) and read to resolve the hierarchy, so read and write. Items is specific to Dynamo DB and Positions & Titles to Xactly — 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. Quotas / Targets Period quota and target values per position or plan; loaded from planning tools through Connect (write) and read for attainment reporting, so read and write. Attributes is specific to Dynamo DB and Quotas / Targets to Xactly — 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. Payment Summary (Payable) Approved payable amounts per participant per period; read as the output that feeds payroll and accounts payable, so effectively read-only. Partition and Sort Keys is specific to Dynamo DB and Payment Summary (Payable) to Xactly — 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. Products & Customers Product and customer/account master used in crediting rules and reporting; loaded and updated from CRM/ERP through Connect (write) and read for lookups, so read and write. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Dynamo DB and Products & Customers to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Orders Sales order and transaction records loaded into Incent as the raw input for crediting and calculation; created and updated through Connect load and ETL steps (write) and read back for reconciliation, so read and write. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Dynamo DB and Orders to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamo DB and Xactly

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 Xactly 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 Xactly as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Xactly Dynamo DB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Xactly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC log for external tools to consume.

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.
  • Xactly: Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.

How the Dynamo DB and Xactly connectors work

Dynamo DB

Integration surface
Proprietary JSON-over-HTTPS API accessed through AWS SDKs; PartiQL supported for SQL-like queries
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 request signing
Change detection
Item-level change streams via DynamoDB Streams or Kinesis Data Streams integration
Capabilities

Rate limits
Throughput is governed by the table's provisioned or on-demand capacity mode

Xactly

Integration surface
Xactly Connect REST API v2 (JSON), plus ODBC/JDBC drivers over the same ANSI-SQL data model. Incent data is exposed as SQL-queryable objects (for example xactly_order, xactly_credit, xactly_transaction, xactly_payment); data is loaded and extracted through Connect load/query steps and server-side ETL Pipelines. The base host is region/pod-specific (for example https://<pod>.xactlycorp.com).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Xactly Connect API Gateway (bearer tokens issued on behalf of an Xactly Incent user), with HTTP Basic authentication using a dedicated Xactly Connect service-user's credentials also supported for the Connect REST API v2. The connecting user needs Connect/API access plus the relevant object permissions in Incent.
Change detection
No CDC log for external tools to consume. Incremental sync uses SQL predicates on modified/last-updated timestamp columns (for example WHERE modified_date > watermark) against Connect's queryable objects, or scheduled Connect ETL Pipelines that pull deltas since the last run. Xactly Connect has no outbound HTTP webhooks, so change detection is pull/ETL-based.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.
