FOR DEVELOPMENT TEAMS

Built for developers

Technical teams need clear contracts and responsibilities before writing adapters or connecting new services.

IN PRACTICE

Agree on the interface before implementation

A productive integration brief explains what each system sends, who owns the data and how errors are recovered.

  • Endpoints and authentication: environments, token scopes, credential rotation and access control.
  • Events and data contracts: schemas, idempotency, timestamps, currency precision and identifiers.
  • Failure paths: timeouts, retries, duplicate callbacks, reconciliation and observability.
  • Release and handover: test fixtures, acceptance scenarios, monitoring and ownership.

Bring the existing architecture or API documentation. We can use it to make the first scope discussion concrete.

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS

What matters in practice

Authentication and authorization

Define environments, credential ownership, token audience and rotation. A connected API should grant only the operations a service actually needs.

Events, retries and idempotency

Agree on stable external IDs, timestamps, currency precision, callback signatures and replay behavior. These details prevent repeated notifications from becoming repeated financial actions.

Testing and ongoing ownership

Include negative cases, timeouts, duplicate events, reconciliation and runbook information. A successful demo request is not enough to sign off an integration.
