Overview

Laminar is a platform that allows customers to build and monitor bespoke integrations.

Breaking down the problem

Custom integrations are a deep engineering problem, but can be boiled down into three main functions:

  1. API Requests (getting and sending data)

  2. Data transformations (translating data between systems)

  3. Control flow (if this then that)

Engineering teams normally build tooling to support these functionalities in their codebases:

  1. Authentication Token storage (per API authentication)

  2. API Endpoint descriptions (where to make requests)

  3. Error Handling (logging and observability)

  4. Retry Mechanisms (ways to ensure integrations succeed)

Laminar aggregates that tooling into one platform, reduces the boilerplate required to assemble integrations allowing customers to ship integrations faster and meet customers' demand.
