Why teams connect Magento and TiDB

Give your engineers Magento's products, orders, and customers in TiDB: 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 Customers, Inventory source items (MSI), Invoices, Shipments from Magento into TiDB 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 TiDB, 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 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • 02 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 03 Sync Orders, invoices, and shipments from Magento into Postgres or a warehouse for revenue, margin, and fulfillment-SLA reporting.
  • 04 Master Products, prices, and Category assignments in an ERP or PIM and write them into Magento's catalog by SKU.

Common sync patterns

React to store changes

Updates in Magento arrive as row changes in TiDB, 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 TiDB sync back onto Magento, 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 TiDB for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

What you can sync between Magento and TiDB

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.

Magento objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Configurable / variant products Parent configurable products link to simple product variants by attribute; synced so size/color SKUs and their prices stay aligned with source systems. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Configurable / variant products is specific to Magento and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories Catalog tree and product-to-category assignments; written into Magento to control merchandising and read out for taxonomy reporting. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Categories is specific to Magento and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders Sales orders with line items, totals, and status; typically read out of Magento into a warehouse or ERP for fulfillment and revenue reporting. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Orders is specific to Magento and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Customer accounts and address book; synced two-way with a CRM so order history and contact records stay consistent. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Customers is specific to Magento and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory source items (MSI) Per-source stock quantities under Multi-Source Inventory; written from a WMS/ERP so storefront stock matches the warehouse. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Inventory source items (MSI) is specific to Magento and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Invoice documents tied to orders; read out for finance and revenue recognition, or created via the sales API when billing downstream. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Invoices is specific to Magento and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Magento and TiDB

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.

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

TiDB Magento Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
