Creating Middleware Between Airtable and Webflow
Miguel is working on an app that allows people to use the powerful data entry and structure of Airtable with the great visuals provided by Webflow. Both services have robust APIs, but there is still a lot of complexity to resolve.
Participants
Summary
Miguel was actively working on two issues that he asked the group to help with. The first was to get feedback on the general architecture he had laid out. It was working fine, but Miguel had some concerns about the scalability of the system.
The second issue was resolving a race condition that could occur with frequent updates and how the Airtable webhooks functioned.
Group discussion involved:
- Scalability and cost concerns with AWS SQS and Lambda
- Utilizing different Airtable endpoints to reduce redundant processing
- Different ways to store 3rd party data to keep things in sync
- Full system testing with 3rd parties
