Field notes from Shriram IT Ventures delivery work on NGOs: Integration Patterns Guide: the constraints that matter, the shortcuts that haunt you, and a checklist we still use.
Who this is for
Use boring technology where the risk is operational. Save novelty for the one wedge that makes the product worth buying.
Decisions that still look smart in 18 months
Use boring technology where the risk is operational. Save novelty for the one wedge that makes the product worth buying.
Build checklist we actually use
Use boring technology where the risk is operational. Save novelty for the one wedge that makes the product worth buying.
Failure modes we keep seeing
Instrument the happy path and the ugly path. Silent failures are what turn a launch into a weekend incident.

We update this when delivery patterns change on live client work.
