For developer-led: custom Node/Python with OpenAPI specs, Composio for AI-driven integrations, Apache Camel for self-hosted ESB. EDI: AS2 + X12 via Cleo or 1EDI Source. Integration engineers must reason about idempotency, exactly-once vs at-least-once delivery, schema evolution (additive vs breaking), and compensation transactions.
