Why teams connect Akeneo and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick 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 Users and Roles, Databases, Schemas, Tables in Yellowbrick with Products, Product models, Categories, Attributes 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 Push warehouse-computed aggregates or segments back into operational tools such as a CRM.
  • 02 Sync CRM and marketing data into Yellowbrick tables so it can be joined with large fact tables for enterprise BI.
  • 03 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.
  • 04 Write Categories, Families, and Attributes from an ERP or supplier feed into Akeneo to build and maintain catalog structure.

Common sync patterns

One product catalog

Where both systems hold product or catalog data, cleaned and enriched attributes stay aligned so the store and the warehouse describe the same items.

Inventory and order status reconciled

Stock levels and order or fulfillment status move between Yellowbrick and Akeneo so counts and states agree across reporting and operations.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, corrections in either propagate to the other so analytics and the storefront share one identity.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick 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. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Databases to Yellowbrick — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Schemas to Yellowbrick — 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. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Views to Yellowbrick — 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 and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick Akeneo Interval-based propagation

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

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.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.

How the Akeneo and Yellowbrick 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.

Yellowbrick

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible) with JDBC/ODBC drivers; bulk loading via the ybload utility
Authentication
Database credentials, with LDAP and Kerberos options in enterprise deployments
Change detection
Polling on timestamp columns; no exposed transaction-log CDC
Capabilities
