When bugs surface or integrations fail

Digging through scattered docs and logs

When bugs surface or integrations fail, developers are forced to dig through scattered docs and logs, trying to reverse-engineer APIs that should have been clear from the start.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲? Siloed systems and a lack of comprehensive API cataloging.

In such cases, developers often don’t know:

⮑ What endpoints exist, and what they’re actually for
⮑ Which standard auth methods to follow
⮑ How error handling should be implemented consistently
⮑ What rate limits or dependencies apply

APIs are built with inconsistent patterns, making it hard to share context or maintain services over time. → Departments operate in isolation, each optimizing for its own goals while losing sight of the broader mission.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀. It’s a shift toward a consistent, cross-functional platform for:
Centralized Catalog → Design-First Standards → Contextual Documentation → Cross-Team Transparency
