Ductape – Build back end integrations once, reuse them anywhere
Hey HN, We built Ductape to make backend integrations reusable and environment-agnostic. You define the logic once (e.g. payments, auth, notifications) and externalize provider-specific stuff like API keys, endpoints, and retries into a config. That logic can then be reused across services, projects, and environments without rewriting code. It’s like decoupling your service logic from your infrastructure. You can even switch providers by changing config, not code. We’re using it to save time, reduce bugs, and simplify service expansion. Curious what you think. We’ve been building quietly and…
In plain words
Ductape is a backend integration platform that lets developers write integration logic once and reuse it across services, projects, and environments. Users define payment, authentication, or notification flows once, then externalize provider-specific details like API keys and endpoints into configuration files. This approach allows teams to switch providers by changing config rather than rewriting code, reducing duplication and bugs. It's designed for backend engineers building applications that need multiple third-party integrations.
