Build Notes: Unifying Orders Across Five Channels
Notes from building OrM's channel-integration layer — what broke first, and what we'd do differently starting over.
Every messaging platform we integrated with had a slightly different idea of what an 'order' even was. Normalizing that turned out to be most of the work.
What we'd do differently
- Build the normalization layer before the first channel integration, not after
- Treat webhook delivery failures as the default case, not the exception
- Give the order pipeline a status machine from day one
