CommCare to Amazon DynamoDB Integration
AI-first ETL from CommCare into Amazon DynamoDB. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads CommCare into Amazon DynamoDB
Datrise syncs CommCare's cases, forms, form submissions, users, locations, and case properties into Amazon DynamoDB as an item per source record in a table per entity. Flexible or custom fields land in nested map/list attributes, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as ISO-8601 string or epoch number attributes.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses PutItem/UpdateItem keyed on a partition key derived from the entity id, so re-runs update only what changed. Partition-key design on the entity id to spread throughput evenly. DynamoDB rewards access-pattern-first key design, so Datrise sets partition/sort keys from your entity ids rather than scan-heavy defaults.
Ideal for serverless apps needing single-digit-millisecond key lookups on CRM data.

How CommCare entities map to Amazon DynamoDB
| CommCare entity | Amazon DynamoDB object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| cases | commcare_cases | id PK · custom fields → nested map/list attributes |
| forms | commcare_forms | id PK · linked to commcare_cases |
| form submissions | commcare_form_submissions | id PK · linked to commcare_cases |
| users | commcare_users | id PK · linked to commcare_cases |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle CommCare's custom fields in Amazon DynamoDB?
Flexible values are stored as nested map/list attributes, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Amazon DynamoDB types.
How does the CommCare to Amazon DynamoDB sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses PutItem/UpdateItem keyed on a partition key derived from the entity id.
