Why teams connect Akeneo and Google AlloyDB

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in Google AlloyDB: 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 Products, Product models, Categories, Attributes from Akeneo into Google AlloyDB 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 Google AlloyDB, 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 Migrate workloads from self-managed Postgres while keeping existing syncs pointed at a compatible endpoint.
  • 02 Mirror CRM objects into AlloyDB tables so product and internal tools query customer data with plain SQL.
  • 03 Write Categories, Families, and Attributes from an ERP or supplier feed into Akeneo to build and maintain catalog structure.
  • 04 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.

Common sync patterns

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in Google AlloyDB sync back onto Akeneo, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in Google AlloyDB for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

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

What you can sync between Akeneo and Google AlloyDB

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 Google AlloyDB objects How this pairing syncs
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 Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Views to Google AlloyDB — 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 Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Materialized Views to Google AlloyDB — 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. Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Indexes to Google AlloyDB — 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. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Sequences to Google AlloyDB — 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. Replication Slots Logical replication artifacts that back log-based change capture. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Replication Slots to Google AlloyDB — 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. Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Products is specific to Akeneo and Databases to Google AlloyDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Google AlloyDB

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

Google AlloyDB Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google AlloyDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication.

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.
  • Google AlloyDB: No API-style rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance size.

How the Akeneo and Google AlloyDB 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

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.

Google AlloyDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible), with connectivity through the AlloyDB Auth Proxy or private IP
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM database authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication; polling on timestamp columns as a fallback
