Integration Architecture

The product should be able to add the 50th connector faster and more safely than the 5th.

Priority: P0
Phase: Foundation
Primary owner: Integrations / Platform
Status: Blueprint

Objective

Integration breadth is a major moat, but connectors can also become a maintenance burden. Build a connector framework with shared authentication, pagination, rate-limit handling, schema mapping, health monitoring and versioning so each integration is not a one-off project.

What to build

Connector SDK/runtime for pull scans, webhooks, event streams and action brokering.
Credential abstraction supporting OAuth, service principals, workload identity, API keys and certificates.
Canonical mapping layer for agents, tools, identities, resources and actions.
Connector health dashboard with sync lag, failures, scopes and last success.
Permission minimization guidance for each connector.

Implementation decisions

Separate read/discovery scopes from write/enforcement scopes.
Use idempotent sync and checkpointing for large inventories.
Test against provider sandbox/dev tenants where available.
Version vendor schemas and map breaking changes before rollout.

Definition of done

A new connector reuses common auth, telemetry, health and mapping libraries.
Customers can see exactly which permissions each connector requires.
Connector failures cannot corrupt canonical inventory.

Success metrics

Connector build time
Sync reliability
API error rate
Permission-scope reductions

SCALABILITY

The product should be able to add the 50th connector faster and more safely than the 5th.
