Why teams connect Akeneo and MarkLogic

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in MarkLogic: 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 Reference entities and records, Assets, Channels and locales, Media files from Akeneo into MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic, 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 updates from operational systems back into the document hub to keep the canonical record current.
  • 02 Keep reference datasets and semantically linked entities aligned across downstream applications.
  • 03 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic

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 MarkLogic objects How this pairing syncs
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. Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Databases & Forests to MarkLogic — 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. Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Users & Roles to MarkLogic — 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. Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Documents to MarkLogic — 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. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Collections to MarkLogic — 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. Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Products is specific to Akeneo and Semantic Triples to MarkLogic — 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. TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Product models is specific to Akeneo and TDE Views to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and MarkLogic

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

MarkLogic Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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 MarkLogic 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.

MarkLogic

Integration surface
REST API (Client API), plus SQL/ODBC access over TDE views and Java/Node client libraries
Authentication
Username/password (digest or basic), with certificate-based options
Change detection
No exposed transaction log; polling on document timestamps/metadata, or server-side triggers that record changes for pickup
Capabilities
