The problem
Point-to-point integrations multiply quickly. When one breaks silently, data drifts between systems and nobody notices until a customer does.
What it includes
- Central API layer with a documented contract
- Connectors for CRM, ERP, payments and suppliers
- Operations view: throughput, failures, retry queue
- Manual replay for failed records
How we'd engineer it
- One system of record per entity, agreed up front
- Queues, idempotency keys and exponential backoff
- Structured logs and alerting per connector
- Contract tests against third-party sandboxes
Typical technologies
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Message queue
- OpenAPI
- Observability tooling
The stack is chosen per project around your constraints and existing systems.
