Why teams connect InterSystems IRIS and Magento

Give your engineers Magento's products, orders, and customers in InterSystems IRIS: 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 Carts / quotes, Products, Configurable / variant products, Categories from Magento into InterSystems IRIS and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Magento holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in InterSystems IRIS, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Magento 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 enriched or corrected records from SaaS apps back into IRIS tables for on-platform processing
  • 02 Replicate IRIS tables to Postgres so application teams can build against a familiar database
  • 03 Keep MSI inventory source-item quantities aligned between a WMS/ERP and Magento so storefront stock matches the warehouse.
  • 04 Read new Orders to trigger provisioning, accounting, or 3PL fulfillment in an operational database as they are placed.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from InterSystems IRIS back into Magento, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Magento, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in InterSystems IRIS as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

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

What you can sync between InterSystems IRIS and Magento

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.

InterSystems IRIS objects Magento objects How this pairing syncs
Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Customers Customer accounts and address book; synced two-way with a CRM so order history and contact records stay consistent. Views is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Customers to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. Inventory source items (MSI) Per-source stock quantities under Multi-Source Inventory; written from a WMS/ERP so storefront stock matches the warehouse. Schemas is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Inventory source items (MSI) to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Invoices Invoice documents tied to orders; read out for finance and revenue recognition, or created via the sales API when billing downstream. Persistent Classes is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Invoices to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. Shipments Shipment and tracking records against orders; created or read to drive fulfillment status between Magento and a 3PL/WMS. Globals is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Shipments to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. Carts / quotes Active and guest carts (quotes) with items and totals; read for abandoned-cart analysis (not available on the Cloud Service subset). Namespaces is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Carts / quotes to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Products Catalog items keyed by SKU; carry created_at/updated_at for incremental polling and are written two-way from a PIM or ERP into the storefront. Stored Procedures is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Products to Magento — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between InterSystems IRIS and Magento

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.

InterSystems IRIS Magento Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InterSystems IRIS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling (timestamp or query-based).

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

Magento InterSystems IRIS Sub-second propagation

DetectionMagento notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with searchCriteria filters on updated_at (catalog, sales, and customer entities carry created_at/updated_at).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • InterSystems IRIS: Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits.
  • Magento: No fixed request-per-minute cap on PaaS/on-prem; responses page via searchCriteria pageSize/currentPage under a default maximum page size of 300 (Web API Input Limits), with /async/bulk endpoints for large writes.
