• Implement authentication mechanisms including OAuth, API keys, tokens, and other authorization flows.
• Handle real-world integration challenges such as pagination, rate limits, retries, API inconsistencies, schema changes, and data freshness.
• Build infrastructure and reusable frameworks that make it faster and easier to develop new integrations.
• Monitor and improve the reliability, performance, and scalability of existing connectors.
