The problem this solves
The connector marketplace covers the happy path, and your requirement is not on it: a legacy system with a SOAP API, a data shape native sync cannot express, a volume that breaks visual automation tools. So data moves by exported CSV and human memory, breaks silently on holiday weeks, and every workaround adds another undocumented dependency.
How we work
We start by pinning the contract: which data, which direction, what triggers movement, what volume, what happens on conflict, and what failure must never corrupt. That specification is short, written, and agreed before code exists.
Then we build in Node or Python: webhook receivers with signature validation for real-time flows from HubSpot, API services for reads and writes with idempotency keys so retries never duplicate records, exponential backoff on transient errors, and throttling that respects HubSpot's rate limits, which we know from migrations that hit them, not from documentation. Hosting lands where it belongs: serverless functions on your cloud or ours, typically AWS Lambda, or HubSpot's own serverless functions when the job fits inside the CMS.
Every build ships with monitoring, alerting, structured logs, and a runbook. The definition of done is not 'it works', it is 'it fails loudly and recovers cleanly'.
Deliverables
- Integration contract: data, direction, triggers, volume, failure rules
- Webhook infrastructure with signature validation and replay safety
- Custom API services in Node or Python with idempotent writes
- Rate limit management, backoff, and error handling
- Monitoring, alerting, and structured logging
- Runbook and handover documentation
