Modern applications rarely exist in isolation. FileMaker solutions increasingly need to connect to payment systems, messaging platforms, accounting software, AI services, and partner systems.

But managing dozens of API integrations across multiple solutions quickly becomes complex and fragile.

In this session, you will be presented a real-world architecture for building an API hub that simplifies integrations for FileMaker solutions. By centralizing external APIs behind a reusable service layer, developers can create scalable, secure, and maintainable integrations.

Using real examples from production systems handling over 150,000 API calls per day, this session explores architecture, redundancy, caching, load balancing, and strategies for managing external services efficiently.

Attendees will learn how to move from simple “Insert from URL” integrations to a modern API-first architecture that makes FileMaker solutions easier to scale and maintain.
