How we build
Production-grade.
Not Zapier in a trench coat.
Every Blackbaud integration we ship handles failure properly: idempotent jobs, retry logic, dead-letter queues for unrecoverable cases, and observability so you can see exactly where data is at any moment.
Tested
Real test suite, real edge cases. Not just "it worked once."
Observable
You see what is happening — events logged, errors surfaced.
Maintainable
Documented, version-controlled, handed over properly.
