Designing pieces that don't break when the API does

An integration catalog is a liability that compounds. Every piece is a promise that someone else's API, auth flow, and rate limits will be absorbed by us instead of leaking into your flow.

Each GoRunner piece declares a contract: its triggers, actions, auth, and the shape of every payload. The engine validates against that contract at the boundary, so a surprise field from an upstream API becomes a logged warning, not a broken flow.

Rate limits are handled below the piece. The engine tracks per-connection budgets and smooths bursts automatically, which is why a flow that fans out to 500 Slack messages does not get your workspace muted.

Versioning is the part most tools skip. Pieces version independently of flows; an upgrade is an explicit, per-flow choice with a diff of what changed. Flows you built in January run in December.

We test pieces against recorded fixtures and live sandboxes nightly. When a provider ships a breaking change, our goal is that you read about it in our changelog, not in your failed runs.
