Línea de trabajo

Start by reading contributing.md and reviewing existing roadmap formats; the proposal says the roadmap would be built in the roadmap editor at draw.roadmap.sh, with topic content and project briefs. Determine whether the team accepts the proposed scope, then create the roadmap and supporting content in the accepted format. Done means the roadmap covers the proposed integration topics and projects and follows the repository's contribution format.

Descripción

Why an Integration Engineer roadmap?

Most production software is glue: payments, CRMs, Git hosts, messaging, data
warehouses and, more and more, LLM APIs. "Integration engineer" is a common
job title (and a big part of many back-end, platform and solutions-engineer
roles), but there is no roadmap that teaches the skills specific to it:
consuming third-party APIs reliably, handling webhooks and events, syncing
data between systems that disagree, and running all of that safely in
production.

Who is it for?

Beginner to intermediate developers who already know one programming
language and want to build integrations that hold up in production, plus
back-end developers moving into integration, platform or solutions roles.

How is it different from existing roadmaps?

  • API Design is about designing and publishing APIs. This roadmap is
    about consuming other people's APIs: pagination styles, rate limits,
    retries, idempotency, version changes you don't control.
  • Back-end covers building a service. This roadmap focuses on what
    happens between services: webhooks, queues, delivery guarantees, data
    mapping and synchronization.
  • AI Engineer covers building with models. The AI section here is narrow
    on purpose: wiring LLM APIs into existing systems (streaming, tool calling,
    structured outputs, retries and cost).

It links to Back-end and API Design as prerequisites/related roadmaps rather
than repeating them.

topic content, and write the project briefs in the format from
contributing.md if the team is interested.
