AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying infrastructure. You upload your function code, and Lambda scales and executes it on demand without requiring server provisioning or management.

Yes, Makini supports both cloud-based and on-premises systems. For on-premises installations, connections require double the connection credits compared to cloud systems. The connection process typically requires opening specific ports and whitelisting Makini's IP addresses in your firewall configuration. For some on-premises systems, VPN tunnels may be necessary. We provide detailed technical requirements during implementation planning. In cases where security policies prohibit external connections, we offer self-hosted deployment options where Makini runs entirely within your infrastructure, eliminating the need for external network access to on-premises systems.
All Makini webhooks include a signature header for verification. The signature is an HMAC hash of the webhook payload using your webhook secret as the key. To verify a webhook, compute the HMAC using your secret and compare it to the signature header using constant-time comparison to avoid timing attacks. Never process webhook data without verification, as this could expose your system to forged requests. Your webhook secret is provided when you configure webhooks and should be stored securely. Webhook verification ensures that only legitimate requests from Makini are processed by your application.
When a system becomes unavailable, Makini detects the connectivity failure and marks the connection status accordingly. Scheduled syncs will fail with connectivity errors. API requests to the connection will return error responses indicating the system is unreachable. Makini continues attempting scheduled syncs using exponential backoff—initial retries happen frequently, then progressively less often to avoid overwhelming the system when it comes back online. Webhooks notify you of the connection status change. When the system comes back online, normal operations resume automatically. For temporary outages, no action is required. For extended outages, you may want to notify the customer. Connection credits remain consumed during outages since the connection configuration persists.
Yes, Makini supports multi-region deployments for customers requiring data residency in specific regions or needing high availability across geographies. Each region runs an independent instance of Makini with its own infrastructure, ensuring data remains within the specified region. Multi-region deployments are most common for self-hosted installations where customers want instances in multiple AWS regions or data centers. For cloud deployments, we can discuss region-specific hosting based on your requirements. Multi-region support ensures compliance with data localization regulations and provides geographic redundancy for mission-critical integrations.
