Why teams connect Akeneo and Apache Kylin

Flow Apache Kylin data into Akeneo in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Apache Kylin is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Akeneo, so Akeneo always reflects the current state of Apache Kylin — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Apache Kylin is the analytical store where the business joins, models, and reports on its data; Akeneo runs the storefront, catalog, and transactions that generate most of it. The overlap is every record that has to be counted and enriched on one side and acted on the other — and when the bridge is a nightly export, the warehouse reports on yesterday while the store operates without the segments and metrics the warehouse just computed.

Common use cases

  • 01 Expose Kylin query results to operational dashboards without granting access to the underlying Hadoop data.
  • 02 Sync Kylin aggregates into a cloud warehouse to combine them with data Kylin does not cover.
  • 03 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.

Common sync patterns

Inventory and order status reconciled

Stock levels and order or fulfillment status move between Apache Kylin and Akeneo so counts and states agree across reporting and operations.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, corrections in either propagate to the other so analytics and the storefront share one identity.

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Akeneo land in Apache Kylin as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Apache Kylin

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 Apache Kylin objects How this pairing syncs
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. Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Models to Apache Kylin — 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. Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Cubes / Indexes to Apache Kylin — 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. Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Source Tables to Apache Kylin — 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. Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Segments to Apache Kylin — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API. Products is specific to Akeneo and Build Jobs to Apache Kylin — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Projects to Apache Kylin — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Apache Kylin

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 Apache Kylin 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.

DeliveryApache Kylin does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Apache Kylin's output flows back as field updates on the originating Akeneo records.

Apache Kylin Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Kylin for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results.

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.
  • Apache Kylin: No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage.

How the Akeneo and Apache Kylin 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.

Apache Kylin

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC plus a REST API for queries and administration
Authentication
Username/password (HTTP basic authentication on the REST API)
Change detection
Not applicable for row-level capture; data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results
Capabilities
