How it works
Four stages.
Each one has a boundary.
Seamward carries one integration incident from redacted evidence to a validated, approved repair. Every stage has a defined limit, and the limits are the product.
01
Observe
Evidence leaves your process as structure.
02
Detect
Contract, behaviour, and outcome are compared.
03
Reproduce
The failure replays with the network denied.
04
Approve
You record the decision. Nothing deploys.
01 · Observe
Add evidence without moving traffic
The collector wraps an integration after its normal execution path. It never proxies a request, and it fails open. Redaction and hashing run in your process, so what leaves it is structure: field paths, types, hashes, and timing. The same shape of call exists for webhooks, outbound HTTP, queues, and scheduled feeds.
Never on the request path. If Seamward is down, your integration is not.
import { createSeamwardCollector } from "@seamward/collector";
const webhookCollector = createSeamwardCollector({
connectionKey: process.env.SEAMWARD_CONNECTION_KEY,
ingestToken: process.env.SEAMWARD_INGEST_TOKEN,
deployment: { service: "candidate-api", commitSha: process.env.GITHUB_SHA },
});
// Wrap the handler you already have. The response you return is what your
// caller receives. Seamward records structure after it has been sent.
export const handleCandidateWebhook = webhookCollector.observeWebhook(
{ routeTemplate: "/webhooks/candidates" },
async (payload) => {
const candidate = await candidateService.accept(payload);
return {
statusCode: 202,
eventType: "candidate.create",
outcome: {
accepted: true,
businessObjectType: "candidate",
businessObjectId: candidate.id,
},
};
},

02 · Detect
Catch drift and missing outcomes
Observed shapes are compared with the declared contract and with the baseline of previous observations. Expected-outcome rules check that the business result which should follow a call actually appeared. A 200 is evidence, not proof.
Findings name the exact path, the sample count, and the window. Nothing is inferred from a single event.

03 · Reproduce
Replay the failure with the network denied
Approved evidence becomes an immutable, redacted fixture set. The current adapter and each repair candidate run against the same fixtures in an isolated child process. The comparison is deterministic: identical input gives identical result.
Network denied. 64 MB of memory. Five seconds. Nothing in replay can reach a live system.

04 · Approve
Deliver a proposal with its proof attached
A model can explain the evidence and propose a bounded mapping change. Deterministic validation remains authoritative. Your team records the approval with a rationale, and only then can Seamward create a GitHub issue or draft pull request for your normal review.
Approval records a decision. It does not deploy, merge, or edit customer code.

Replay fixtures and schema checks support this bounded mapping.
Where it sits
Every adjacent tool solves a fragment. The repair loop was unclaimed.
Seamward detects semantic drift, reproduces the failure, and repairs your existing code behind a validated, approved pull request, without sitting on the critical path.
- Delivery infrastructure
- Retries and replays webhook deliveries.
- Sits on the request path. Cannot tell that a field was renamed.
- Proxy-based healing
- Repairs traffic that flows through its own proxy.
- Requires re-platforming. Repairs its connectors, not your code.
- Uptime and error monitoring
- Alerts when a service is down or throwing.
- A 200 with a missing record is not an error. No replay, no repair.
- iPaaS and unified APIs
- Owns the integration on your behalf.
- Your existing code stays unrepaired. No business-outcome reconciliation.
Safety model
Automation stops where your judgement starts
- Traffic
- Observe asynchronously. Never proxy a healthy customer request.
- Data
- Redact and hash before transmission. Raw payload storage is off by default.
- Validation
- Replay without network access. Compare deterministically.
- Delivery
- Require a recorded approval before anything reaches GitHub.
