Integrations

API design & engineering

REST, GraphQL, gRPC, OpenAPI specifications, schema validation, pagination, and versioning. Clear contracts make integrations easier to test, evolve, and support.

An API is a promise to the systems that depend on it

Illustrative request
POST /orders
Authorization: Bearer <access token>
Idempotency-Key: <unique operation key>

{ "customerId": "customer-123" }
Illustrative accepted result
201 Created

{
  "orderId": "order-456",
  "status": "received"
}

The contract includes more than a successful response. A consuming team needs to know how access is checked, which fields are required, what a retry means, and how errors can be resolved. We make those behaviors explicit before connecting another application.

Make failure responses actionable

Contract decisions to document
SituationBehavior to agree
Invalid inputReturn field-specific validation details without exposing internals.
Unauthorized accountReject the operation before reading or changing protected records.
Repeated create requestDefine idempotency scope and return the original result when appropriate.
Large result setUse predictable pagination and ordering.
REST, GraphQL, or gRPC?

Choose around clients, operations, and support requirements. Public integrations, flexible application queries, and internal service calls have different contract and tooling needs. Begin with the consuming teams and the behavior they need.
