Integrations

Almost no app stands alone. It takes payments through a gateway, sends messages through a provider, shows maps, syncs with a CRM, pushes invoices to accounting software. Each connection saves manual work, and each one makes you depend on somebody else's system, with its own rules, limits and occasional downtime.

Most integration work is really about what happens when things go wrong. What does the user see if the payment provider is slow? What if a webhook arrives twice, or never? How do you avoid charging someone twice when a call times out? Retries, duplicate protection, logging and clear messages are what separate an integration that demos well from one that survives real traffic.

There's a commercial side too. Third-party services have pricing tiers, usage limits and terms, and some handle personal or financial data that needs care. We document every integration, keep keys and secrets out of the app itself, and build things so you can swap a provider later without rebuilding around it.
