Comment on Launch HN: Nango (YC W23) – Source-available unified APIparent

Comments

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.

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