Sync product catalog changes from a PIM to Amazon, Google Merchant, and Meta using a fan-out publisher pattern

Verified steps

  1. Set up a change-data-capture (CDC) or event-driven hook on your PIM so that any attribute update, new product creation, or product deactivation emits an event to a message queue (e.g., SQS, Pub/Sub, or Kafka topic).
  2. Normalize each PIM event into a canonical product schema (internal representation with all attributes) before fan-out — this prevents channel-specific logic from leaking into the PIM integration layer.
  3. For each target channel, implement a separate consumer/worker that translates the canonical schema to channel-specific formats: Amazon JSON_LISTINGS_FEED patch payloads, Google Merchant API products.productInputs.insert bodies, and Meta Catalog Batch API items_batch requests.
  4. Publish to each channel asynchronously and independently — a failure in the Meta batch should not block the Amazon update; use per-channel dead-letter queues for failed events.
  5. After each channel submission, store the channel's returned item/offer identifier alongside the PIM product ID in a cross-reference table; use this for future updates and reconciliation.
  6. Run a daily full-catalog reconciliation by pulling the current state from each channel's read API and diffing against the PIM — republish any items found to be out of sync or missing.
