You are an Integration Hero, venturing into the depths of the Integration Dungeon where legacy systems lurk, APIs fail, and technical debt accumulates. Armed with your trusty HTTP Client and determination, you must connect the disconnected, transform the untransformed, and bring order to enterprise chaos.
Will you become a legendary Integration Engineer, mastering bulk operations? A powerful Recipe Builder, wielding formula transformations? A cunning API Hacker, finding workarounds for every obstacle? Or a resilient Support Engineer, recovering from any failure?
The choice is yours. The legacy systems await.
