Why teams connect Akeneo and Firebolt

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

Firebolt 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 External tables, Views, Aggregating indexes, Engines in Firebolt with Media files, Products, Product models, Categories 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 Keep dimension tables aligned with source systems while high-volume event data loads through separate batch pipelines.
  • 02 Sync aggregated results from Firebolt back to operational tools that need computed metrics (reverse ETL).
  • 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

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 Firebolt as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

Where Akeneo accepts writes: push computed attributes back

Segments, lifetime value, and scores built in Firebolt write onto the matching records in Akeneo, so merchandising and messaging act on warehouse logic.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Firebolt

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 Firebolt 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 Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Tables to Firebolt — 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. External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Products is specific to Akeneo and External tables to Firebolt — 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. Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Views to Firebolt — 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. Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Aggregating indexes to Firebolt — 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. Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Engines to Firebolt — 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 holding the tables a sync targets. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Databases to Firebolt — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Firebolt

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

Firebolt Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebolt for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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.
  • Firebolt: No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload.

How the Akeneo and Firebolt 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.

Firebolt

Integration surface
SQL over a REST API, with JDBC, Python, and Node.js SDKs
Authentication
Service account credentials (client ID and secret) exchanged for OAuth 2.0 tokens
Change detection
Polling; Firebolt is an analytics destination and does not expose a change feed
Capabilities
