In product conversations, there’s always that moment:
“We’ll just integrate Stripe later.”
Or SendGrid. Or OAuth. Or Supabase policies.
It sounds small — until you're the one doing it.
Integrations Aren’t “Later Work”
They affect:
- Database permissions
- Role-based UI logic
- Onboarding flows
- Environment setup
- Local and production parity
- Webhooks and retry logic
Push them late enough in the build and suddenly:
Architecture decisions need rewrites.
I Built Something to Change That
After hitting this wall enough times, I wanted a way to:
- Drop in working integrations early
- Move fast without paying the penalty later
- Use proven Next.js patterns
- Avoid re-reading 20 pages of docs "just to confirm"
That thinking became Integrate API — a toolkit to integrate SaaS/APIs fast and safely.
The Earlier You Integrate, the Cleaner the Architecture
Not because it’s hard — but because it touches everything.
If you’ve been burned by “we’ll do that later,” you know.
