Reality check

A demo shows what may be possible. These points help judge whether the product fits day-to-day use.

Works well when
  • Connecting stable SaaS, APIs and repeatable business events
  • Teams that can own credentials, retries and failures
  • Small workflows where faster iteration matters
What to check
  • Rate limits, retries, duplicate events and rollback
  • Where secrets live and who can edit production flows
  • Monitoring and ownership after the original builder leaves
Not a magic solution
  • A substitute for agreeing on who owns a process
  • A reason to connect every app without a measurable outcome
  • A reliable system without failure notifications
