Overview

Integration & Automation Hub is an API orchestration platform that centralizes third-party integrations and automates cross-system workflows. Built to replace brittle point-to-point integrations with a reliable, maintainable integration layer.

The Challenge

The organization relied on multiple third-party services, each integrated independently with inconsistent error handling and no centralized monitoring. When an integration failed, it often went unnoticed until downstream processes broke. Workflow automation was manual and fragile.

The Approach & Architecture

I built a central integration layer that acts as the single point of communication between internal systems and external services. Every integration flows through standardized connectors with consistent error handling, retry logic, and logging.
Webhook processing was designed with idempotency in mind, ensuring that duplicate deliveries don't create duplicate actions. Failed integrations enter a structured retry queue with exponential backoff, and persistent failures trigger alerts rather than silently dropping data.
Workflow automation was built on top of this integration layer, allowing teams to define multi-step processes that chain API calls, data transformations, and conditional logic without custom code for each new workflow.

Tech Stack

Next.js for the management dashboard and workflow configuration interface
Node.js powering the integration engine, webhook processing, and queue management
PostgreSQL storing integration logs, workflow definitions, and execution history

The Result

Manual integration maintenance dropped significantly. Failed integrations were caught and retried automatically instead of discovered after damage. Teams could build new automated workflows through configuration rather than custom development, reducing the time from integration request to production from weeks to days.
