Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware's products, orders, and customers in IBM Db2: 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 Order Transactions, Sales Channels, Media, Products from Shopware into IBM Db2 and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Shopware holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Db2, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Shopware 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 Sync SaaS data into Db2 tables that existing enterprise applications and reports already consume.
  • 02 Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • 03 Write tracking numbers and delivery state onto `order_delivery` from a 3PL or WMS so storefront order status reflects fulfillment.
  • 04 Consolidate orders and customers from multiple `sales_channel` storefronts into one Postgres database for cross-channel analysis.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Shopware API, rate limits, and retries.

React to store changes

Updates in Shopware arrive as row changes in IBM Db2, 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 IBM Db2 sync back onto Shopware, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 and Shopware

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.

IBM Db2 objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Indexes is specific to IBM Db2 and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Stored Procedures is specific to IBM Db2 and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Sequences is specific to IBM Db2 and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. Products The product catalog (`product`), including parent/child variants, per-currency nested price arrays, and stock; synced two-way with ERP, PIM, or a database. Tablespaces is specific to IBM Db2 and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Categories The navigation and catalogue tree (`category`); mapped to product taxonomy in a warehouse or written from a PIM. Databases is specific to IBM Db2 and Categories to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Customers Storefront customer accounts (`customer`) with addresses and group; synced two-way with a CRM or support tool. Schemas is specific to IBM Db2 and Customers to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Db2 and Shopware

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.

IBM Db2 Shopware Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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

Shopware IBM Db2 Sub-second propagation

DetectionShopware notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. App-system webhooks on entity events (product.written, order.written, customer.written) deliver the changed record's primaryKey and updated field.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
  • Shopware: No general throttle on Admin API entity endpoints; Shopware's RateLimiter guards only specific routes (login, oauth, password reset, guest order/contact) and is configurable on self-hosted stores.
