Reliable and easy to expand with a helpful API network

There is a product called Guidewire that sends the data in an XML format. It's like a policy load. That information we trigger in Kafka. Kafka will take the information and send it to the REST API. With Kafka, they wanted to make two APIs to consolidate the effort. At that time, we are using the POST API tool. This tool is helping us to synchronize everything.
