Why teams connect Akeneo and ClickHouse

Make ClickHouse the analytics and enrichment layer behind Akeneo: orders, products, and customers stay current in both directions.

ClickHouse 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.

Stacksync syncs Dictionaries, Tables (MergeTree family), Databases, Views in ClickHouse with Reference entities and records, Assets, Channels and locales, Media files in Akeneo field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Transactional records land in the warehouse as they change, computed attributes and cleaned catalog data flow back to the store, and you decide which system owns which fields so Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • 02 Land product event data alongside synced CRM accounts so analysts join usage and revenue in one place.
  • 03 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.
  • 04 Write Categories, Families, and Attributes from an ERP or supplier feed into Akeneo to build and maintain catalog structure.

Common sync patterns

One product catalog

Where both systems hold product or catalog data, cleaned and enriched attributes stay aligned so the store and the warehouse describe the same items.

Inventory and order status reconciled

Stock levels and order or fulfillment status move between ClickHouse 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.

What you can sync between Akeneo and ClickHouse

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 ClickHouse objects How this pairing syncs
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Dictionaries to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Tables (MergeTree family) to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Databases to ClickHouse — 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 Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Views to ClickHouse — 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. Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Materialized views to ClickHouse — 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. Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Distributed tables to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and ClickHouse

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

ClickHouse Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ClickHouse for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No log-based CDC for consumers.

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.

How the Akeneo and ClickHouse 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

Rate limits

ClickHouse

Integration surface
Native TCP protocol and HTTP interface; standard SQL dialect, with MySQL and PostgreSQL wire compatibility available
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password); ClickHouse Cloud issues per-service credentials over TLS
Change detection
No log-based CDC for consumers; incremental reads use polling on monotonic columns, and ClickHouse is usually the destination rather than the source
