Why teams connect Akeneo and Amazon Lightsail

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in Amazon Lightsail: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Assets, Channels and locales, Media files, Products from Akeneo into Amazon Lightsail and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Akeneo holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Amazon Lightsail, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Akeneo with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.
  • 02 Push cleaned or enriched records from central systems back into the Lightsail database behind a small web app.
  • 03 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Akeneo API, rate limits, and retries.

React to store changes

Updates in Akeneo arrive as row changes in Amazon Lightsail, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in Amazon Lightsail sync back onto Akeneo, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Amazon Lightsail

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.

Akeneo objects Amazon Lightsail objects How this pairing syncs
Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Tables to Amazon Lightsail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. Views Query-backed read-only sources. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Views to Amazon Lightsail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Users and Grants to Amazon Lightsail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Managed Databases to Amazon Lightsail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channels and locales Target-market settings that scope attribute values; read to resolve which localized or channel-specific value to map on each side of a sync. Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Databases to Amazon Lightsail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Schemas to Amazon Lightsail — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Amazon Lightsail

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.

Akeneo Amazon Lightsail Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon Lightsail as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Amazon Lightsail Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Amazon Lightsail for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or key columns.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
  • Amazon Lightsail: No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle.

How the Akeneo and Amazon Lightsail connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

Amazon Lightsail

Integration surface
MySQL or PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL) to the managed database endpoint
Authentication
Database credentials; public endpoint access must be enabled or a tunnel used
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or key columns; log-based CDC depends on engine parameter access, which is more limited than on full RDS
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle
