Connector Drift
When a connected system changes its API and the integration’s mapping no longer matches reality.
Drift is the gradual or sudden divergence between what an integration expects and what a connected system actually returns. Enterprise systems update their APIs constantly — fields are added, removed, or renamed; endpoints move; versions change.
On a conventional platform, drift is the leading cause of broken integrations and the 2am pages that follow. On Ngentix, drift is a signal the Runtime Monitor watches for: when detected, it triggers the self-healing loop automatically.
