What is an embedded iPaaS?
Blog post from Nango
An embedded integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) enables SaaS or AI products to integrate third-party tools directly through their user interface, allowing customers to connect their applications seamlessly. This system manages API authentication, retries, rate limits, and execution infrastructure, differing from traditional iPaaS by being customer-facing, multi-tenant, and developer-oriented. While legacy iPaaS platforms relied on low-code solutions, modern embedded iPaaS platforms, such as Nango, adopt a code-first approach that supports AI-native products and offers extensive API coverage, scalability, and usage-based pricing. These platforms facilitate integrations as code, managed through CI/CD pipelines and AI coding agents, allowing for more complex and scalable data syncs, tool calls, and webhook processing. Embedded iPaaS platforms help avoid the costs and maintenance challenges of building integrations in-house, particularly for products requiring deep, custom integrations, making them suitable for modern applications that demand flexibility and efficiency in scaling their integration capabilities.
