Why teams connect Akeneo and Neo4j

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in Neo4j: 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 Neo4j 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 Neo4j, 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 Keep a customer-360 graph continuously updated from ERP, CRM, and support sources.
  • 02 Mirror CRM accounts and contacts into a graph to model buying-group and referral relationships.
  • 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

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in Neo4j for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Neo4j 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 Neo4j as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects How this pairing syncs
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Users & Roles to Neo4j — 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. Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Nodes to Neo4j — 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. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Relationships to Neo4j — 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. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Properties to Neo4j — 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. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Labels to Neo4j — 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. Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Indexes & Constraints to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Neo4j

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 Neo4j 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 written to Neo4j through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Neo4j Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph 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.

How the Akeneo and Neo4j 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.

Neo4j

Integration surface
Bolt binary protocol with Cypher via official drivers, plus an HTTP query API
Authentication
Username/password (basic auth); enterprise deployments add SSO options
Change detection
Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes; otherwise Cypher polling on timestamp properties
