Why teams connect Akeneo and Amazon RDS

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in Amazon RDS: 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 Attributes, Families and family variants, Reference entities and records, Assets from Akeneo into Amazon RDS 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 RDS, 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 Mirror SaaS objects into RDS tables so product features can join business data with application data in one query
  • 02 Keep an RDS reporting database hydrated from operational tools without maintaining ETL jobs
  • 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

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Akeneo, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Amazon RDS as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

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 RDS, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Amazon RDS

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 RDS 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. Stored Procedures Engine-specific logic that can react to synced rows. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Stored Procedures to Amazon RDS — 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. Databases Engine-level databases on the instance that scope a sync's reads and writes. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Databases to Amazon RDS — 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. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Schemas to Amazon RDS — 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. Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Tables to Amazon RDS — 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. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Views to Amazon RDS — 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. Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Columns to Amazon RDS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Amazon RDS

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

Amazon RDS Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon RDS are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Engine-native log-based CDC: MySQL/MariaDB binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server CDC.

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 RDS: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance class, storage IOPS, and connection limits.

How the Akeneo and Amazon RDS 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 RDS

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol of the chosen engine (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle)
Authentication
Database credentials over SSL/TLS, or IAM database authentication on supported engines
Change detection
Engine-native log-based CDC: MySQL/MariaDB binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server CDC; enabled through RDS parameter groups, with polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance class, storage IOPS, and connection limits
