About Devloom
Built by engineers who got tired of writing the same boilerplate
In 2019, Marcus Webb was a senior backend engineer at a Seattle freight-tech company, three months into connecting the company's TMS to a third-party ERP. The API worked. The integration didn't — not reliably. The OAuth2 refresh token expired mid-batch at 2am. The cursor pagination silently skipped records when the upstream dataset changed during traversal. The exponential backoff hammered a 429 wall and triggered a rate-limit suspension.
By 2022 he had written the same three files — token refresh, pagination loop, retry wrapper — eleven times across five employers and two client projects. The connector names changed. The boilerplate didn't. He built Devloom to solve this once, correctly, for everyone.
We're bootstrapped, engineer-led, and based in Seattle. We don't take VC money because developer infrastructure tools work best when they're accountable to their users. We price the SDK so a solo engineer on a startup can afford it on day one.
Infrastructure should be boring
The logistics and enterprise SaaS worlds run on integrations. Every backend team building in this space eventually hits the same wall: the third-party API you need works fine in dev — until production. Then the OAuth2 access token expires mid-batch at 2am. The cursor-based pagination skips records when the upstream dataset is modified during traversal. The retry logic hammers a 429 wall without jitter and your account gets suspended for the rest of the day.
These aren't interesting engineering problems. They're infrastructure tax — undifferentiated boilerplate that adds no product value, delays roadmap work, and silently fails in production when conditions differ from the happy path. Every team we talked to was solving these problems independently, in slightly different ways, with slightly different correctness.
Devloom exists to make that infrastructure a solved problem. Not solved for teams that can afford to build a six-engineer internal platform — solved for the two-person backend team shipping freight-tracking software and the solo engineer wiring a TMS connector on a sprint deadline. We don't claim to replace every integration tool; we're specifically for backend engineers who need to talk to enterprise APIs and don't want to write the same three files again.
We're bootstrapped because developer infrastructure tools work better when they answer to their users, not to a growth chart. When your only revenue comes from people who actually find the tool useful, you make different trade-offs — better documentation, honest error messages, support that responds to engineers instead of routing them to a sales team.
The people behind Devloom
What we believe
Developer-first
Every decision starts with the engineer who will use this. Docs before features. Error messages before dashboards. CLI before GUI. We build for the person in the terminal.
Boring infrastructure
Auth, pagination, retry — this code should be invisible. The goal isn't to make it clever; it's to make it correct and then never think about it again. Boring is a feature.
Radical simplicity
A three-method SDK that handles 95% of integration work beats a 200-method framework that requires a specialist. We ruthlessly cut scope in service of the happy path.
