Document Workflow Integration Gateway

Growth Phase: Modernization and Scale

Cloud-native integration gateway for ERP adapter configurations.

Architecture Responsibility

Responsible for technology architecture and hands-on delivery direction across system design, deployment, DevOps, cost, scale, reliability, and production readiness.

Outcome

Created a generic API integration gateway that reduced maintenance by using a single cloud-native codebase across multiple ERP adapter configurations.

Scale

Built to support multiple ERP adapter configurations from a shared integration codebase.

Architecture

  • Used an AWS serverless-first architecture with Lambda and Step Functions for orchestration.
  • Stored integration state and configuration data in DynamoDB.
  • Built a React frontend to manage integration workflows and adapter configuration.
  • Designed the platform around reusable adapters instead of bespoke client-specific integration code.

Lessons Learned

  • Integration architecture should avoid bespoke code where configuration-driven adapters can provide reuse and lower maintenance.
  • Serverless workflows are powerful when the integration stages, retries, state, and operational ownership are explicit.
  • A generic adapter platform reduces delivery cost only when it is paired with clear templates, testing, and support boundaries.
