Where Projects Like This Go Wrong

These are the patterns we are usually called in to fix. Each one compounds the longer it is left alone.

Point-to-Point Spaghetti

Every system calls every other system directly.

Lost Webhooks

Missed or duplicated events create reconciliation work.

Breaking Changes

An upstream update silently breaks downstream consumers.

How It Works: Seven Stages With Review Points

Each stage ends with a review point, so you see progress, approve direction and catch problems before they get expensive.

STAGE 01

Discover

System audits, threat modeling, and stakeholder alignment.

Architecture Spec
STAGE 02

Plan

Capacity modeling, schema design, and milestone mapping.

SOW & Milestones
STAGE 03

Design

Design tokens, interactive prototypes, WCAG audit.

Prototype Sign-off
STAGE 04

Develop

Test-driven development, trunk builds, strict peer reviews.

90%+ Test Coverage
STAGE 05

Test

Automated regression, pen-testing, load simulation.

SecOps Clearance
STAGE 06

Launch

Canary traffic rollout, automated failover verification.

Zero-Downtime Live
STAGE 07

Support

24/7 SRE monitoring, automated patch matrix, latency SLA.

99.995% SLA Loop

Scope of Work: What Is Included

We connect systems through explicit contracts and durable events, so one failing dependency never takes the rest of your platform down with it.

Contract design

Typed, versioned API and event schemas agreed before implementation

Service implementation

REST, GraphQL or gRPC services with authentication and rate limiting

Event streaming

Brokers, topics, retries and dead-letter handling for reliable delivery

Third-party connectors

Resilient integrations with payments, CRM, ERP and identity providers

Documentation

Reference docs and onboarding guides for internal and external developers

Monitoring

Latency, error and consumer-lag alerting with runbooks

Core Engineering Capabilities

What we build under this service, each piece designed and built by senior engineers and reviewed at every stage.

REST and GraphQL APIs

Typed, versioned and documented interfaces for internal and public use.

Typed Schemas

gRPC Microservices

Low-latency service contracts with strict schema evolution rules.

Protobuf

Event Streaming

Kafka topologies with replay, dead-letter handling and idempotent consumers.

Apache Kafka

Third-Party Bridges

Resilient connectors to Stripe, Salesforce, SAP and identity providers.

Fault Tolerant Queues

Why Choose Oblique Tech

What changes when senior engineers own the outcome from the first call to long after launch.

Contract-First Architecture

Clear interfaces and an event backbone decouple producers from consumers.

Durable, Idempotent Delivery

Queues, retries and idempotency keys guarantee each event is processed once.

Versioned Schemas

Schema registries and compatibility checks block breaking changes before release.

How We Compare

An honest look at the alternatives, so you can choose the route that fits your team.

Criteria	Oblique Tech	In-house team	Freelancers	Large agency
Integration experience	Event-driven systems and legacy bridges	Product focused	Narrow, one integration at a time	Varies by account team
Time to start	Days after scoping	Months to recruit	Days to weeks	Weeks of procurement
Seniority	Senior engineers only	Depends on who you hire	Varies by individual	Often mixed with juniors
Code ownership	100% yours	Yours	Usually yours, check the contract	Depends on the contract
Continuity	Documented handover and a stable team	Tied to staff retention	Single point of failure	Staff can rotate between projects
Cost model	Fixed scope or monthly rate	Salary plus overhead	Hourly, can drift	Premium rates and change orders
Visibility	Sprint demos and shared repositories	Internal reporting	Self-managed	Account manager reports

Questions teams ask before starting

Direct answers on ownership, process, scope and support, so you can judge fit before the first call.

Do you build public APIs?

Yes, including documentation, authentication, rate limiting and developer onboarding.

How do you handle failures?

Retries with backoff, dead-letter queues, circuit breakers and alerting on consumer lag.

Can you integrate legacy systems?

Yes. We use change-data-capture and adapters to bridge legacy databases and protocols.
