Data gravity, APIs, and integration in modernization
Data gravity, APIs, and iPaaS: why apps stall without a data and integration plan during modernization, especially for U.S. and Canada enterprises.
The hidden dependency graph
Searches for API gateways, eventing, and decomposing monoliths are rising as teams find they cannot strangle a system that shares a database with ten other systems.
Frequently asked questions
What does data gravity mean for a migration?
The hardest systems are the ones with hidden integrations and long-lived data dependencies. The SEO-relevant work is to map the dependency graph before promising a go-live date.
Are APIs or events better for a strangler path?
Often both: synchronous APIs for immediate reads and an event bus for long-running consistency and decoupling. The choice is about latency, ordering guarantees, and team skill, not a silver bullet label.
