API & integration builds that hold up.

A real public API for your customers, a third-party data import that actually works, an OAuth/SSO story that survives a security review — Levelbrook designs and ships the integration layer across Rails, Python, and Node.js, billed corp-to-corp as a scoped project or staff augmentation.

The integration layer, done properly

APIs and integrations are where a lot of Rails projects quietly accumulate risk: an endpoint shipped under deadline that customers now depend on, an import that breaks every time the partner changes a column, an auth flow that mostly works until a security review finds the gap. Levelbrook builds the API and integration layer to hold up — designed for the consumers who'll actually use it, versioned, documented, and observable from day one.

This is hands-on backend work backed by real production integrations: ERP mailer integrations, server-driven UI runtimes across four platforms, MCP support for desktop clients, and the JWT/auth incidents that teach you where the sharp edges are. It's available as a scoped project with a fixed price or as ongoing staff augmentation.

What we build

Built to be handed off

Every build ships with written-down decisions and documentation, so your team owns it after the engagement ends — no permanent dependency on the contractor. Billed corp-to-corp through Levelbrook LLC, with MSA, SOW, NDA, and COI ready on day one.

Build types

From endpoint to ecosystem.

01

Public APIs

REST and GraphQL APIs designed for real consumers — versioned, rate-limited, paginated, and documented well enough that partners self-serve.

02

Data integrations

Imports and syncs with third-party systems, including legacy software — built to validate, fail loudly, and recover without data loss.

03

OAuth / SSO

Authentication, JWT, and single sign-on implemented to survive a security review, including the edge cases the happy path skips.

04

Webhooks & events

Reliable, idempotent, retry-safe event delivery with audit-grade logging, so your partners trust the integration.

Questions buyers ask

API & integration work, answered.

Fixed price or hourly?

Either. Well-defined API or integration builds work well as fixed-scope projects with a quoted price; open-ended or evolving work runs as hourly staff augmentation. Both billed C2C through Levelbrook LLC.

REST or GraphQL?

Whichever fits your consumers. We've built and run both in production and will recommend based on who's integrating and how, not on preference.

Can you make our auth pass a security review?

Yes — OAuth, JWT, and SSO implemented for the edge cases, not just the happy path, with the logging and token handling a reviewer will look for.

What about integrating with old/legacy systems?

That's often the job. We've integrated with software that predates HTTPS — the work is building defensively so the integration fails loudly and recovers cleanly.

Will our team be able to maintain it?

Yes. Every build ships with documentation and written-down decisions so your team owns it after the engagement, with no lasting dependency on us.
