Prismatic leads in satisfaction for embedded iPaaS!

For devs evaluating Prismatic

Developer Hub

On this page, we answer the four biggest “how does it actually work?” questions developers usually have when evaluating Prismatic and point you to key docs.

Platform overview

First, here's a quick summary of Prismatic:

  • It's an embedded integration platform, also known as embedded iPaaS
  • Its purpose is to help B2B SaaS teams deliver product integrations faster and with less dev time
  • It has tools for the full integration build/deploy/manage lifecycle, because in our experience, building is just half the battle
  • It has tools for both devs and non-devs (full-code and low-code, API/CLI and GUI)
  • It's designed to make easy integrations easier AND handle real-world complexity so you can build whatever you need

How does Prismatic work?

Most integration platforms don't work for real SaaS companies with real devs. We built one that does. Start here to learn how things work in Prismatic.

If we write integrations in code, how does that work?

Leverage Prismatic-built infrastructure and SDKs to quickly write productized integrations that scale.

If we build low-code integrations, how do I code custom connectors?

Import from our library of existing connectors or custom develop your own using our SDK and CLI generation tools.

How do we embed Prismatic in our product?

Embed pre-built theme-able UIs for customer-facing tools, self-serve marketplace, monitoring dashboards, and workflow builder.

How does Prismatic fit into our SDLC?

Deploy versions via Github or CI/CD, API for integration management, log streaming, and orchestrate automations.

TypeScript SDK

If we write integrations in code, how does that work?

Write in TypeScript, test locally, publish and run on Prismatic.

TypeScript SDK

Bring your IDE, generate a new project with our CLI, and easily build your integration with our TypeScript SDK. Write custom triggers and workflows. Build reusable customer deployment UIs.

Purpose-built dev tooling

Quickly define reusable and configurable integrations with self-serve UIs. Test and run in Prismatic’s Node.js execution environment. Store the code in your version control repositories, and easily plug deployments into your CI/CD pipeline with our API or CLI.

API Connectivity

If we build low-code integrations, how do we code custom connectors?

Quickly write custom connectors to any third-party service or your own API with our TypeScript SDK. Wrap up complex functionality into easily reusable packages to share across integrations.

Write a connector to any API

Quickly write custom connectors to any third-party service or your own API with our TypeScript SDK. Wrap up complex functionality into easily reusable packages to share across integrations. Publish to NPM.

Wrap up complex functionality

Handle authentication, populating data sources from third-parties, data transformation and mapping, and interacting with APIs with our connector SDK and unit testing harness.

Self-Serve CX

How do we embed Prismatic in our product?

Embed pre-built theme-able UIs for customer-facing tools, self-serve marketplace, monitoring dashboards, and workflow builder.

Embedded SDK

Embed a customizable Marketplace, Monitoring Dashboard, and Workflow Builder UI via iframe or API. Handle authentication and user management with the Prismatic Embedded SDK.

Custom integration UX

Use the Embedded SDK to iframe embed a set of themeable self-serve UIs (dashboard, marketplace, designer) with full support for translations and a powerful in-app theming engine with light and dark mode support. Or use the Prismatics composable API to build native UIs.

Tooling

How does Prismatic fit into our SDLC?

Deploy integration versions via Github or CI/CD, use the API for integration management and automations, stream logs, and set up alert monitors.

Tools for your workflow

Prismatic integrates with your existing setup. Write integrations using familiar packages, test with known frameworks, and deploy through your current CI/CD pipelines or GitHub workflows. No need to change your workflow.

Automations, logging, and alerting

Plug in Prismatic’s CLI to easily script management tasks (publish, deployment, syncs, etc.) and execute test suites. Configure log streaming to your aggregation tools like Datadog or New Relic, and set up webhook based alerting for proactive monitoring.

Prismatic beautifully supports the model we wanted: technical support staff configure new instances of known integrations; software engineers get involved when there's something new; support staff can monitor what's happening day-to-day. Meanwhile, we can focus engineering cycles on adding value for our customers.

We probably save 95% of engineering time, we've deployed far more integrations than we would have without Prismatic. Everyone gets it; everyone understands that we can integrate wherever we need to, and that's quite a powerful thing.
