The Problem
Integration mesh that auto-infers and versions contracts from SAP IDocs/BAPIs, Oracle EBS interfaces, and external APIs. Generates self-healing adapters when schemas drift, enforces deterministic idem

Must-Have Features for MVP
Contract inference and versioning for ERP interfaces
Schema-diff alerts with auto-generated shims
Deterministic replay and idempotency key management
Per-flow SLOs with backpressure and circuit breaking
Trace-to-test conversion for CI/CD of integrations
Visual dependency graph and debt heatmap
Blue/green rollout of connector versions
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- On-prem connectivity and throughput at scale
- Convincing teams to place mesh inline
- Handling proprietary/legacy protocols
- Latency budgets for synchronous flows
Risk Level: High
🎯 Keys to Success
- 90% reduction in change-related integration incidents
- <50ms added latency for sync calls
- Hours-to-days connector adaptation vs weeks
- Zero data loss during version rollouts
