Why teams connect Easypost and IBM Informix

Give your engineers Easypost's products, orders, and customers in IBM Informix: 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 Webhook, Shipment, Address, Parcel from Easypost into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Easypost holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Easypost 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 embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • 02 Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • 03 Verify and normalize customer Addresses through EasyPost before they are saved to the CRM or OMS to cut failed deliveries and carrier address-correction surcharges.
  • 04 Sync CarrierAccount configuration and negotiated rates so shipping options stay consistent across the storefront, ERP, and 3PL systems.

Common sync patterns

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in IBM Informix sync back onto Easypost, 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 IBM Informix for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM Informix back into Easypost, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

What you can sync between Easypost and IBM Informix

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.

Easypost objects IBM Informix objects How this pairing syncs
Batch Bulk shipment processing; create a batch, add or remove shipments, buy all labels at once, and generate a consolidated label or ScanForm for the day's orders. Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Batch is specific to Easypost and Views to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
CarrierAccount Carrier credentials and settings that control which carriers and negotiated rates are available; create, update, and delete to manage enabled carriers across accounts. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. CarrierAccount is specific to Easypost and TimeSeries objects to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Webhook Event subscriptions delivering an Event via HTTP POST on object changes; full CRUD (create, retrieve, list, update, delete) and the mechanism for near-real-time change delivery to Stacksync. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Webhook is specific to Easypost and Stored procedures to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipment The central writable object: create with a to/from Address and Parcel, receive Rate options, then buy a label to get postage_label and tracking_code; retrieve and list with cursor pagination. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Shipment is specific to Easypost and Logical logs to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Address Origin and destination locations; create, retrieve, and list, plus address verification (delivery and residential) to normalize and validate addresses before they are saved downstream. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Address is specific to Easypost and Databases to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Parcel Package dimensions and weight (or a predefined_package); created standalone or inline on a Shipment and reused across shipments and batches. Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Parcel is specific to Easypost and Tables to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Easypost and IBM Informix

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.

Easypost IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionEasypost notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks deliver an Event via HTTP POST on object changes (e.g.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Informix as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM Informix Easypost Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Easypost through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Easypost: Fixed 5 requests/second on index (list) endpoints plus a dynamic load-based limiter protecting buy and rate operations; exceeding either returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests.
  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
