Integrations and APIs

Connect without surrendering domain ownership.

Keep external-provider assumptions behind explicit adapters while products retain canonical data, workflow and decision responsibility.

A layered platform architecture with an explicit external-system boundary
Contract discipline

Make provider differences explicit at the edge.

  • Typed request, response and event contracts
  • Canonical internal models and ownership
  • Provider-specific authentication and adapters
  • Version and compatibility policy
  • Idempotency, verification, error and retry semantics
  • Audit-safe correlation and operational evidence
Failure boundaries

Do not let a provider error become ambiguous product state.

Integration architecture distinguishes transport success from business acceptance, records provider identifiers safely, reconciles uncertain outcomes and defines who owns retry, cancellation, compensation and manual resolution.

Supported APIs, events, versions and limits require integration-specific validation.

Integration review

Bring both systems and the ownership boundary.

Map identity, canonical data, state transitions, failure semantics, compatibility and support responsibility.
