Why teams connect Akeneo and Couchbase

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in Couchbase: 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 Couchbase 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 Couchbase, 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 cleaned or enriched records from operational databases back into Couchbase collections that applications read.
  • 02 Sync Couchbase JSON documents into Postgres or a warehouse where analysts work with flattened relational tables.
  • 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

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 Couchbase, 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 Couchbase sync back onto Akeneo, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Couchbase

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 Couchbase objects How this pairing syncs
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Collections to Couchbase — 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. JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and JSON Documents to Couchbase — 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. Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Global Secondary Indexes to Couchbase — 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. XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Products is specific to Akeneo and XDCR replications to Couchbase — 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. Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Full-text search indexes to Couchbase — 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. Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Buckets to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Couchbase

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

Couchbase Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Couchbase are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations.

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.
  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.

How the Akeneo and Couchbase 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.

Couchbase

Integration surface
SQL++ (N1QL) query service, key-value SDK APIs, and REST management APIs
Authentication
Database credentials with role-based access control, typically over TLS
Change detection
Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations; SQL++ polling on document fields as an alternative
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits
