The hidden costs of building product integrations in-house

Building product integrations in-house can have significant hidden costs, including engineer time and resources, slow time to market and lower product velocity, and ongoing maintenance and support needs. Engineer time and resources are often underestimated, leading to weeks of effort for a single integration. Slow integration processes can impact time to market, making it difficult to meet customer demands and commit to integration timelines. Additionally, integrations require ongoing maintenance, updates, and monitoring to ensure they continue to function properly, which can be time-consuming and challenging. In contrast, using an end-to-end integrations platform like Nango can accelerate time to market, reduce the engineering resource drain, and provide a solid infrastructure for observability, debugging, and customer support.
