While given a common name, not all integration platforms as a service (iPaaS) are built the same, in fact far from it. Much like purchasing a car, the destination of adding integrations to your product may look the same, but getting there (and how fast) can be wildly different. While there are many resources that help you ask the right questions when car shopping, there is relatively little when it comes to evaluating an integration platform. These eight questions will help guide you when kicking the tires on an iPaaS.
1. Who will handle the updates?
The structure of APIs are fluid. Application providers continually enhance their endpoints for consumers, but who will make the updates in your integration? Is maintenance and versioning included in the integration platform or does the burden of upkeep fall to you?
2. Are integration patterns point-to-point or one-to-many? https://goo.gl/qBxK6x #DataIntegration #ML
