Connection credits are Makini's billing unit. Each system integration consumes a specific number of credits based on complexity. Systems are divided into three tiers: Tier 1 (simple systems like cloud CMMS), Tier 2 (mid-complexity ERP systems), and Tier 3 (complex systems like SAP). On-premises installations require double the credits of their cloud equivalents. For example, a cloud SAP S4/HANA connection might use 4 credits, while an on-premises SAP ECC installation uses 8 credits. Connection credits are consumed when you establish a connection and are returned to your pool when you disconnect. This allows flexible allocation across customers—you're not locked into specific connections.
Makini monitors connection health continuously and provides multiple ways to detect reauthorization needs. The connection status endpoint returns the current state including whether reauthorization is required. Makini sends webhooks when connections enter a state requiring reauthorization, allowing proactive notification. API requests to a connection requiring reauthorization return specific error codes prompting reconnection. The Makini dashboard displays connection status across all customers. Best practice is to implement webhook listeners for connection status changes and proactively notify customers when reauthorization is needed, rather than waiting for operations to fail. Include clear instructions on how to reconnect in your notification.
Makini takes a defense-in-depth approach to security. All data in transit uses TLS 1.2 or higher. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Customer credentials are encrypted using secure key management with separate encryption keys per customer. We implement network segmentation, strict access controls, and follow the principle of least privilege. Our infrastructure undergoes regular security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments. We're SOC 2 Type 2 certified, demonstrating our commitment to security controls. Employee access to production systems is logged and monitored. For customers with strict compliance requirements, we offer self-hosted deployments where data never leaves your infrastructure, eliminating Makini as a data processor.
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.
