Connecting systems together
so you never retype the same data
- API
- JSON
- synchronizácia
Connecting systems over an API means the data moves between programs on its own and you never retype it. Part of the job is handling what happens when the other side goes down, because eventually it will.
A typical small business has three to five programs that know nothing about each other. A shop, accounting, stock, a calendar, e-mail. Between them is a person moving data from one to the next, doing it because nobody wired them up, not because it cannot be done.
Most programs today have an interface you can connect to. It just has to be done.
How it works
First I find out what your programs can and cannot do. Not everything can be connected, and some older systems are closed on purpose so you will not leave them. I will tell you at the start, not after you have paid.
Then we design which way the data should travel and what should happen when two sides contradict each other. This is the most important decision in the whole job, and most connection problems arise exactly here.
Finally it is built and run on trial with real data, so mistakes show up before anything depends on it.
What happens when something goes down
A connection is built to expect failure. When the other side does not answer, the data is not lost but waits and tries again. That is the difference between a connection that works for six months and a connection you can rely on.
At AJ Bikes it looks like this: if Google Calendar were unavailable, the system falls back to its own data instead of stopping.
