API Backend for Automation Tool

A robust backend for an automation product that orchestrates workflows and synchronizes data across external APIs.

• Process events in near real time.
• Improve reliability of external API integrations.
• Provide clear workflow status and retry visibility.

Unreliable integrations led to workflow failures and missing status visibility for end users.

• Multiple third-party APIs with inconsistent rate limits.
• High volume event bursts at peak times.
• Need for fast incident triage.

We delivered a modular API platform with resilient processing, audit trails, and observability for every workflow step.

• Queue-first event processing with worker pools.
• Service boundaries for integrations and orchestration.
• Centralized logging and metrics for workflow traces.

• Built FastAPI services with validated schemas.
• Added retry policies, dead-letter queues, and alerts.
• Created status APIs and dashboards for operations.

• Week 1: Workflow mapping and API contract design.
• Weeks 2-3: Services, queues, and integration adapters.
• Week 4: Observability, QA, and deployment.

• Reduced integration failures with retries and audit logs.
• Enabled real-time workflow status tracking.
• Improved deployment speed with automated pipelines.
