Define ownership
For each shared record or transaction, decide which system creates it, which may change it, and which consumes it. Without ownership, synchronization can overwrite correct data.
Design the contract
Document identifiers, fields, units, statuses, timestamps, versioning, required behavior, and error responses. Treat API contracts as shared operational agreements.
Plan for failure
Networks and services fail. Use idempotency, retry limits, dead-letter handling, correlation identifiers, logs, alerts, and reconciliation so failures are recoverable and visible.
Secure the boundary
Apply least privilege, authenticated service identities, protected secrets, transport encryption, input validation, rate controls, and audit appropriate to the data and action.
Questions to bring to discovery
- Which users and decisions depend on this workflow?
- Where does information originate, and which system owns it?
- Which exceptions, corrections, and approvals must be supported?
- How will the organization measure a successful result?
