Why teams connect Akeneo and Oracle DB

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in Oracle DB: 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 Oracle DB 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 Oracle DB, 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 changes from SaaS apps back into Oracle so PL/SQL jobs and reports run on current data.
  • 02 Log-based replication of order and inventory tables into an analytics warehouse instead of nightly batch dumps.
  • 03 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.
  • 04 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.

Common sync patterns

React to store changes

Updates in Akeneo arrive as row changes in Oracle DB, 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 Oracle DB 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 Oracle DB for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Oracle DB

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 Oracle DB objects How this pairing syncs
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Schemas Per-user namespaces that scope sync permissions and object visibility Product models is specific to Akeneo and Schemas to Oracle DB — 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. Sequences Key generators to respect when external systems insert rows Categories is specific to Akeneo and Sequences to Oracle DB — 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. PL/SQL procedures and packages In-database logic that can consume or transform synced data Attributes is specific to Akeneo and PL/SQL procedures and packages to Oracle DB — 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. Partitions Physical subdivisions relevant when replicating high-volume tables Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Partitions to Oracle DB — 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. JSON columns Document data stored in the converged engine and synced alongside relational rows Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and JSON columns to Oracle DB — 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. Tables The primary read/write surface for row-level sync over SQL Assets is specific to Akeneo and Tables to Oracle DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Oracle DB

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

Oracle DB Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Oracle DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC from redo logs via LogMiner or GoldenGate, or trigger and timestamp 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.
  • Oracle DB: Throughput bounded by database resources rather than API quotas.

How the Akeneo and Oracle DB 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.

Oracle DB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (Oracle Net) via JDBC, ODBC, and native OCI drivers
Authentication
database username and password; wallets, Kerberos, and directory-based authentication in enterprise setups
Change detection
log-based CDC from redo logs via LogMiner or GoldenGate, or trigger and timestamp polling
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
throughput bounded by database resources rather than API quotas
