Propify Engineering "Core Four"
These four guiding principles stem from the countless challenges encountered by PropTechs working to innovate the industry. Any engineering decision we make should improve our standing in at least one of these 4 categories.
Reliability: Our API should be as reliable and dependable as possible — spanning several regions and cloud vendors for maximum uptime.
Consistency: From accurate API documentation to our normalized data model, PropTechs can depend on us for consistent implementation.
Resiliency: Special attention is placed on retry and replay strategies for our ETL system with the knowledge that requests will fail and vendor payloads will change unannounced. This is where we really shine and take away the pain from our customers.
Visibility: Access to documentation, system (internal and external) statuses, event logs and even opting into webhooks for important event notifications is a major component of what Propify provides to our customers.
