I spent about 5 minutes (incl watching the demo) and I still don’t quite understand what this does.
I’m probably not in your target audience, so maybe the issue is with me. But I think you should consider clarifying the use-case and value a bit.
It’s one of those things that should probably be immediately obvious to anyone working on SaaS. I was curious so I spent some time on it, potential customers may not be as forgiving and might give you just 10-20 seconds.
I'm in the target audience and still don't fully understand, although I do think the market needs more tools like this.
Generally speaking, the value prop for tools in this space tends to be that they map similar data concepts from lots of providers into one API so that it's faster to build interoperability. For example, if you're shipping a project management tools integration, every tool has the equivalent of a ticket and a project and a label regardless of what they call it.
What I /think/ this tool does is go one layer further and provide cloud-based orchestration for chained integration calls with appropriate failover and observability hooks built in automatically. Which is a sensible tool I think the market is hurting for.
Their front page is quite clear. Haven't seen the demo though. Its a unified API for all Integrations that your Saas can have. Typical Saas has integrations with a lot of other Saas and its like a web of complexity that you have to build from scratch. With Unified API you integrate with one API and it can give you things like auth, data, syncing from Github, twitter, Google, etc

But I could be wrong, and that's concerning.

Doesn't that already exist? I'm also not sure what the edge/value proposition is.
If I need API integration done, there are already MIT licensed programmatic solutions that I can self host on AWS
