API development & systems integration
Very little software stands alone now. The value is in the connections - and so is the pain, because a badly built integration fails silently and gets discovered days later through wrong data. We build APIs and integrations that are documented, versioned, monitored, and loud about their problems.
Service details
At a glance
- Documented, versioned APIs others can build on
- Integrations with third parties and partners
- Retries, error handling and recovery built in
- Monitoring and alerts on every flow
Assume the other side will misbehave
Networks drop, third parties change things without telling you, and data arrives malformed at 2am. We design integrations around that reality - retries, sensible error handling, clean recovery - so even an awkward external API becomes something you can rely on from your side of the fence.
APIs people enjoy building against
We design APIs from the consumer’s side of the table: predictable, documented, versioned so they can evolve without breaking whoever depends on them. Your partners get something they can integrate in days, and your own teams stop re-keying data between systems that should have been talking all along.
- Consumer-first API design
- Documentation and versioning as standard
- Data kept in sync, with conflicts handled deliberately
Silence is not a good sign
Every flow we build is observable: you can see what is moving, and alerts fire when something stops. Failures surface in minutes instead of emerging days later as missing orders or a reconciliation headache. A quiet integration is only trustworthy when you can prove it is quiet because nothing is wrong.
Frequently asked questions
- Can you integrate with a third party that has a messy API?
- Yes - that is half the job. Retries, error handling and monitoring on your side can make even an awkward external API dependable.
- Will the APIs you build be documented?
- Always. Documented and versioned, so your team and your partners can build against them with confidence and evolve them safely.
- How do we know an integration hasn’t silently broken?
- That is exactly what the monitoring is for. Alerts fire when a flow stops or data drifts, so you hear about it from the system rather than from a customer.
- Can you keep two systems’ data in sync?
- Yes. We design synchronisation with explicit handling for conflicts and failures, so the systems agree - and you can tell when they do not.
