API design, middleware, data pipelines, and third-party connectors that let independent systems share a common source of truth.

What this service is, and what it is not

Most mid-sized organisations do not need a single new system — they need the systems they already have to behave like one. We design and build the integration layer between those systems: APIs, middleware, data pipelines, and third-party connectors, with a strong bias towards clarity, contracts, and observability.

What we help with

  • API design and implementation (REST, GraphQL, event-driven)
  • Middleware and synchronisation between line-of-business tools
  • ETL and reporting pipelines
  • Third-party connectors for CRM, finance, identity, and operational tools
  • Observability, structured logging, and incident response around integrations

A few shapes this work tends to take

Targeted integration build

A specific integration between two or three systems, designed for clarity and long-term maintenance.

Integration layer

A small service that sits between systems and provides a stable contract to the rest of your application estate.

Reliability rescue

Bringing structure, tests, and visibility to an existing set of fragile integrations that have outgrown their original design.

How we actually do the work

The specifics change with each engagement, but the underlying approach stays the same.

01

Contracts first

We write down the interface — request, response, errors, retries — before we write the integration. It forces clarity early.
02

Observable from day one

Structured logs, tracing, and alerting are part of the initial release. Integrations that fail silently are a class of problem we actively avoid.
03

Idempotent and recoverable

Operations are designed to be safely retried. Replaying the last hour of traffic should be boring, not terrifying.
04

Human runbooks

We write the incident runbook while we build. If something breaks at 2am, the on-call engineer has a clear, tested path back to healthy.

A note on tools

We tend to reach for the tools below, but we are tool-agnostic where it matters and will happily work in your existing stack.

  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • GraphQL
  • Kafka
  • PostgreSQL
  • Terraform
