About Laminar

Laminar is a middleware platform that helps businesses build custom API integrations faster.

Laminar was named after a concept in fluid mechanics named laminar flow. It is a state in which particles in a fluid travel without turbulence.

Integrations are engineering problems

Custom integrations can be as complicated as entire backend systems.

Examples of custom integrations

• Implementing a newly purchased software or business (a new ERP, CRM/M&A);

• Connecting internal systems together (connecting to individual factories); or

• Connecting directly to customers’ systems (sales led).

Solving the engineering problem

Laminar’s platform has the tooling necessary to build integrations without needing to write boilerplate code.

Running an integration

Laminar makes it easy to build and maintain integrations by breaking them down into the following sequence of tasks:

1. Describe API endpoints that need to be connected
2. Create necessary workflows for the APIs being integrated
3. Describe data transformations, control flow and API requests in flows that run in sequence as part of workflows
4. Execute workflows by calling Laminar's API and complete your integrations without needing to write custom code.

Additionally:

1. Debug failing workflows with flow runs
2. Try individual parts of an integration with Laminar's editor

3. Test data transformations on Laminar's playground
4. Receive notifications for critical integration failures

5. Configure retry mechanisms for workflows
