Re: Show HN: Revert – Open-source unified API for product integrations
#12Congrats! My first questions with this sort of thing are always the same: - is it easy to deploy from test to prod via CI? - is the configuration source-controllable/diffable via Git? Ta!
Appreciate the question!
- Yes we give you keys for test environment that you could build an integration with. Once you're happy with it, you could easily just swap out the keys in production that we give you and launch directly. Since we're an API, all the code you write to integrate with us lives within your code base. Deploying is as easy as deploying your code.
- We're all code based so everything you need to integrate with us is source-controllable and diffable. We're not a no-code/low-code solution. We're building it with the developer in mind.
Re: Show HN: Revert – Open-source unified API for product integrations
#13Looks promising, I've 2 questions.
1- How does Revert ensure the security and privacy of data while facilitating integrations through its unified API, especially when dealing with various third-party applications and services?
2- The platform mentions a 'Unified Data Model' and 'Standardised data formats and schemas.' Could you elaborate on how these aspects help in simplifying the integration process across different CRMs and what measures are in place to handle discrepancies or inconsistencies in data formats between various integrations?

1 - Two ways we ensure we're secure & private.
* We take security seriously and understand that storing sensitive information is risky. Therefore we're undergoing SoC2 Type 2 for our hosted version to ensure that we follow the best security practices ourselves in how we store data.
* If you still don't trust a third party like us you could use the self-hosted version of Revert and use it in your own infra. (we can assist you in this)
2 - The way we simplify the schemas is such that you don't have to learn the nuances of each CRM for example. (what field X is called in CRM A vs CRM B)
We ensure that you need to learn only the API schema (for example Leads API endpoint) that we offer and in the background map this to the downstream CRM (Salesforce, Hubspot or anything else).
At the same time, we ensure that you can call the native CRM APIs if you need to, without managing the OAuth or refresh of these OAuth tokens.
Happy to answer any follow ups here!

Thanks, Just one last question from my side- For the self-hosted version of Revert, can you provide more insights into the level of technical expertise required to set it up within an organization's infrastructure?
And Additionally, what kind of support and assistance does the Revert team provide to facilitate this setup? If a client needs it.

You would need to know how to use docker/docker-compose to be able to set it up within AWS/any other cloud provider.
- We're coming up with other easier ways to self-host at the same time. Our friends at Scoutflo (https://deploy-home.scoutflo.com/) & https://nuon.co/ are building something cool for this.
- We can do this as a "done-for-you" setup or be completely hands-off and give you just the docker images to go ahead with. This mostly will depend on our customer's needs and bandwidth.
Re: Show HN: Revert – Open-source unified API for product integrations
#19Hi HN! Allen & Jatin here, co-founders of Revert.dev Integrations require a lot more engineering time, resources, and ongoing maintenance than you would first expect. When building your own integrations you have to deal with challenges, such as: - unreliable third party integration endpoints, which fail or hang more often than you think; - monitoring and reliability of the integration code; dealing with different sch…
Nice! We could be in the market for something like this soon.
What’s your quick pitch for why someone should use Revert vs competitors like Merge.dev and Nango?
Re: Show HN: Revert – Open-source unified API for product integrations
#20Congrats on the launch! This certainly seems like a product for which a big market exists.
As someone who is dealing with Salesforce integration in my own company, I have a question: how well does the Revert Salesforce integration work with highly customized Salesforce setup? We operate in a complex domain, so our Salesforce setup is customized with a bunch of custom entities in a complex hierarchy. So not just Accounts, Opportunities etc. Does Revert work with that at all or does it assume a certain default data model?
