Why teams connect Akeneo and CockroachDB

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in CockroachDB: 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 Media files, Products, Product models, Categories from Akeneo into CockroachDB 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 CockroachDB, 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 Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
  • 02 Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.
  • 03 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.
  • 04 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from CockroachDB back into Akeneo, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Akeneo, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in CockroachDB 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.

What you can sync between Akeneo and CockroachDB

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 CockroachDB objects How this pairing syncs
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Tables to CockroachDB — 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. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Products is specific to Akeneo and Views to CockroachDB — 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. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Indexes to CockroachDB — 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. Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Sequences to CockroachDB — 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. Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Changefeeds to CockroachDB — 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 Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Databases to CockroachDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and CockroachDB

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

CockroachDB Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in CockroachDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes.

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.
  • CockroachDB: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity.

How the Akeneo and CockroachDB 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.

CockroachDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
Authentication
Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
Change detection
CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
