Custom Software Application (Laravel + React)
‍Stage: In production with active paying users
‍Challenge: Business-critical features relied on external APIs — Stripe for payments, Google Maps for location data. An outage in either would immediately impact revenue and user trust.

During a live user onboarding push, the Stripe API briefly failed. Customers attempting to pay saw “error” messages, and the founder had no visibility until angry emails started arriving. With every minute lost, sales were slipping away.

With API Lifeline enabled, DevCode911 continuously monitored connected APIs and webhooks.

- Detected the Stripe payment API outage within 3 minutes.
- Alerted the founder instantly via text message.
- Engineers applied a temporary queue + retry strategy so transactions weren’t lost.
- Service was restored before most customers noticed.

✅ $5,000+ in Lost Revenue Prevented during the outage window.
✅ 100% of API Failures Caught Early, before customer complaints piled up.
✅ Seamless Experience: Customers’ payments processed successfully once the API recovered.
