How do I replicate Dynamo DB data to PostgreSQL?

Sign up for Weld, connect Dynamo DB as a source and PostgreSQL as a destination. Weld handles the extraction, loading, and lets you transform data using SQL or dbt.

What Dynamo DB data can I replicate to PostgreSQL?

You can replicate the objects the Dynamo DB connector exposes. The available objects depend on your Dynamo DB account permissions and configuration.

How often does Weld replicate data from Dynamo DB?

Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Schedules range from every 5 minutes to daily intervals. Each sync processes only new and changed data.

Can I transform Dynamo DB data before it lands in PostgreSQL?

Yes. Weld supports SQL-based transformations in the platform and integrates with dbt Cloud. You can clean, join, and model your data before analysis.

Is the Dynamo DB to PostgreSQL integration secure?

Yes. Weld encrypts all data in transit and at rest, is SOC 2 Type II certified, and supports IP whitelisting. Credentials are stored encrypted and never logged.

Dynamo DB to PostgreSQL integration

Replicate your Dynamo DB data into PostgreSQL with Weld. Automatically replicate the tables you choose from Dynamo DB into PostgreSQL, keeping your analytics layer up to date and ready for querying.

Use cases

Why replicate Dynamo DB to PostgreSQL?
Ready for analysis.

Centralizing your Dynamo DB data in PostgreSQL lets you join it with other data sources for cross-platform analytics and deeper insights.

Build reliable dashboards and reports by querying Dynamo DB data directly in PostgreSQL using SQL or your preferred BI tool.

Consolidate data from Dynamo DB alongside other databases and applications in a single database for a unified analytical layer.

Database replication for analytics
Replicate your Dynamo DB production data to PostgreSQL without impacting database performance. Query historical data without load on your primary database.
Centralized data warehouse
Bring Dynamo DB data into PostgreSQL alongside other sources to create a single source of truth for your organization.
Automated reporting
Replace manual exports and spreadsheet-based reporting with automated pipelines from Dynamo DB to PostgreSQL. Connect BI tools like Looker, Metabase, or Power BI.

Data

What data can you replicate?
From Dynamo DB to PostgreSQL.

Weld syncs the objects the Dynamo DB connector exposes into PostgreSQL, and you choose which tables and fields to include. The connector's docs list what is available.

Weld MCP server

Ask your agent.
It queries PostgreSQL for you.

Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or your own agent to Weld over MCP. It reads the Dynamo DB context, finds the tables it needs and runs the query in PostgreSQL.

Under the hood

Technical considerations.
What to expect.

Incremental syncing: Weld uses incremental syncing where supported by the Dynamo DB API, loading only new and updated records to minimize data transfer and warehouse costs.
Change data capture: For Dynamo DB, Weld can use log-based replication (CDC) to capture inserts, updates, and deletes without querying the entire table on every sync.
Schema handling: Weld automatically manages schema changes. If Dynamo DB adds new fields, they're detected and added to the corresponding PostgreSQL tables.
Data freshness: Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Most connectors support schedules from every 5 minutes up to daily intervals.
Security: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Weld is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports IP whitelisting for database connections.
