Building an Extensible Publishing Pipeline

Building an Extensible Publishing Pipeline

Publishing the same article to several platforms becomes difficult when provider-specific
authentication, payloads, and response formats leak into the main workflow.

Start with a stable contract

A shared publishing interface gives the application one predictable way to build a payload,
publish it, and check provider health. Each platform implementation can then handle its own
headers, endpoints, validation rules, and response mapping.

Keep platform details isolated

A factory selects the correct client for each configured integration. Adding another platform
does not require adding conditional branches throughout the publishing workflow.

The result

The core pipeline remains small, tenant-safe, and easy to test while integrations can evolve
independently. This seeded article is safe to publish as a draft during local testing.
