Integration timelines vary by complexity. For standard implementations with no customizations, connections can be live within 1-2 weeks. This includes authentication setup and basic workflow configuration. For implementations requiring custom workflows or specific business logic, timelines typically range from 2-6 weeks depending on the scope. Complex enterprise deployments with multiple systems and custom requirements may take 6-10 weeks. These timelines are significantly shorter than traditional integration projects, which often take 2-24 months.
API tokens must be stored securely and should never be exposed on the client side or in public repositories. Store tokens in secure environment variables or dedicated secrets management systems like AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or Azure Key Vault. Never hardcode tokens in application code or commit them to version control. Implement proper access controls so only authorized services can access stored tokens. For production environments, use separate tokens from development/testing environments. Rotate tokens periodically and immediately revoke tokens if you suspect they've been compromised. Makini tokens provide access to customer data, so treat them with the same security standards you'd apply to database credentials.
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.
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.
