The Problem

ElasticBridge provides a portable, autoscaling integration runtime using WebAssembly connectors. It adapts to traffic, vendor rate limits, and schema changes automatically: predictive autoscaling, cir

Competitor Landscape

  • MuleSoft
  • Boomi
  • Workato
  • Kong Konnect
  • Tyk
  • Temporal

Must-Have Features for MVP

WASM connector SDK with sandboxed execution and hot‑swap
Predictive autoscaling based on queue depth and SLOs
Rate‑limit aware scheduling with token buckets and vendor‑specific backoff
Schema evolution layer: contract discovery, diffing, and safe transforms
Policy engine for retries, idempotency keys, and circuit breakers
Multi‑runtime deployment (k8s operator, serverless adapter, edge workers)
Shadow deploy and canary for connector updates
Observability baked in: per‑connector SLIs and budgets

⚠️ Potential Challenges

  • Building and maintaining a high‑quality connector catalog
  • WASM performance tuning for IO‑heavy workloads
  • Coordinating schema evolution without breaking downstreams
  • Hybrid network constraints (on‑prem + cloud)

Risk Level: Low

🎯 Keys to Success

  • >99.95% integration runtime availability under variable load
  • Near‑zero failed requests due to throttling (auto pacing)
  • Days to hours reduction in connector update rollout time
  • 50% lower infra spend for integrations via right‑sized autoscaling
