Paragon

SaaS platform for native integrations

Overview

Paragon is a SaaS platform that helps product and engineering teams build and manage native integrations for their apps. It provides an SDK and an embedded iPaaS (integration platform as a service) so clients can connect to third‑party applications and keep integrations up to date with changes in external APIs. The product includes a workflow builder to define integration logic, pre-built connectors and triggers, and a monitoring suite to ensure reliability, all embedded directly into the client’s product for a seamless user experience. Paragon differentiates itself by offering an embedded, native integration experience that speeds up development—claims of up to seven times faster than building in-house—while handling authentication, API changes, and ongoing maintenance. Its goal is to help SaaS companies quickly and reliably connect with other apps, reduce their engineering workload, and provide end users with smooth, embedded integrations.
