Breaking changes that break partners
An endpoint changes shape and every integration built against it fails simultaneously, with no warning and no fallback.
API Review & Consulting for Existing Services
Consumer contracts: Review REST endpoints or GraphQL schemas, versioning, deprecation policies and documentation against what consuming applications depend on.
Hire TK Web Services for an independent review of the technology and processes your company already relies on. We examine the agreed scope with your team to distinguish what works, what creates friction and what deserves further investigation.
This is a consulting engagement: findings, specialized advice and decision support—not a commitment to build or replace a system. Any implementation is a separate discussion.
What we review
Consumer contracts: Review REST endpoints or GraphQL schemas, versioning, deprecation policies and documentation against what consuming applications depend on.
Access and resilience: Assess authentication, authorization, validation, rate limits and error responses; trace how failures affect legitimate consumers.
Event delivery: Examine webhooks, signatures, retries, idempotency and monitoring; recommend changes that preserve compatibility with current integrations.
When specialized advice helps
Undocumented or stale documentation
Integrating developers reverse-engineer behaviour from trial and error because the docs describe a version that no longer exists.
No rate limiting
A single misbehaving client or a traffic spike takes down the API for every other consumer at once.
Weak or inconsistent authentication
API keys shared in plain text, no scoping of permissions, or an auth scheme so cumbersome that partners give up integrating.
No webhook or event strategy
Partners are forced to poll for changes constantly because there is no way to push events to them when something happens.
Findings and recommendations you can use
Current-state assessment
Written strengths, gaps, risks and evidence within the agreed scope, including assumptions and limits of the review.
Prioritized recommendations
Options ranked by business impact, effort and urgency, with tradeoffs rather than a predetermined rebuild.
Decision walkthrough
Review the findings with your technical team and business stakeholders so responsibilities and next steps are clear.
How the consulting review works
Agree the question and scope
Clarify the business decision, relevant systems, available evidence and team participation before the review starts.
Examine the current approach
Review documentation, configurations and available operational evidence; discuss real workflows with the people who maintain and use them.
Evaluate options
Connect the findings with your constraints, compare realistic alternatives and identify what can remain unchanged.
Present recommendations
Deliver the assessment and walk through priorities, open questions and a practical path your team can choose to follow.
Advice that respects your existing investment
Preserve what works
A review can validate existing choices. Replacement and additional software are not the default answer.
Evidence with context
Recommendations account for your operating needs, team capacity and the information actually available.
Your team remains in control
Consulting supports your decisions without taking over development or requiring an implementation contract.
