API / Integration Sprint

Connect the systems without turning the integration into a mystery box.

We define the exact systems and events involved, document the expected contract and failure cases, implement in isolation, test normal and error paths, and hand back a reviewed PR.

Good fit

Bounded work with a visible finish line.

REST / GraphQL integrations

Suitable when the scope and expected result can be made explicit before implementation.

Webhooks and event processors

Suitable when the scope and expected result can be made explicit before implementation.

Stripe / billing integrations

Suitable when the scope and expected result can be made explicit before implementation.

Auth, CRM, or internal-service connectors

Suitable when the scope and expected result can be made explicit before implementation.

Read-only preflight

What we verify first.

Preflight gathers evidence. It does not authorize implementation.

01

API contract / docs

Captured as evidence for qualification and the Sprint Brief before implementation begins.

02

Exact credentials boundary without sending secrets by email

Captured as evidence for qualification and the Sprint Brief before implementation begins.

03

Expected request/response or event flow

Captured as evidence for qualification and the Sprint Brief before implementation begins.

04

Retry, idempotency, and failure expectations

Captured as evidence for qualification and the Sprint Brief before implementation begins.

Lane use

Implementation stays inside the approved brief.

The lane receives bounded integration context and never invents access to adjacent systems. Secrets remain outside repository text and lane output; unsupported external dependencies become guidance requests.

Definition of done

Evidence before handoff.

The agreed integration path works in testable conditions, failure behavior is covered, and no unauthorized system access was added.

Client controls merge. Deploy remains off by default.
