Trusted by 150+ B2B & AI SaaS engineering teams

Designed from developers from the ground up

Built for developers at any scale. Paragon is not only easier to use, but also fits into your software development lifecycle.

Integrations-as-code

Fully integrated integrations-as-code framework

Unlike Prismatic’s disjointed approach for offering a code-native experience, all integrations and configurations in Paragon are fully synced across our code-based representation and the visual workflow builder via Git.

Merge is just an API, which means your team still needs to orchestrate the integration logic, build in error-handling, and build the infrastructure to support concurrency.

Paragon provides a serverless workflow engine so your team can easily implementing the business logic, either in code (Paragraph) or with a visual workflow builder, without worrying about the plumbing.

Version control, code review, and collaborate on integrations

Bi-directionally synced with your git repository

CLI for managing your Paragon project programatically

Maintain observability benefits of a visual workflow construct

Deployment

Developer-native deployment process

With Prismatic, integrations are deployed to end-user as separate instances. This introduces risk as your users will have different versions of the same integration, making version control impossible.

With Paragon, deploy integrations like any other product feature - version control changes and test thoroughly with dedicated QA and production environments, all backed by Git.

Separate Development, Staging, and Production environments

Diff that highlights changes between versions

Warnings that highlight potential breaking changes being introduced

API Coverage

Easy to use custom integration builder

Paragon enables you to much more easily spin up your own connectors for any integration we don’t support in our catalog, vs. Prismatic’s custom components SDK.

Build a custom connector in under 5 minutes

Fully managed authentication for any 3rd party API

Supports all 3rd party API endpoints and webhooks

Hosting options

On-premise deployment options

If you sell to enterprise customers, Prismatic won't be able to support your scale and help you satisfy your customers' data residency requirements.
That's why Paragon offers both cloud and self-hosted deployment options, to fit your security and scale requirements.

Deploy Paragon on-premise in your own infrastructure

Supports AWS, GCP, and Azure

Maximize throughput with enterprise-ready workflow engine.

Why engineers love Paragon

Over 100 engineering teams rely on Paragon
as the backbone for their apps’ integrations.

With Paragon, we can have our code developed and tested locally so the dev process is much faster. With Prismatic, the complexity means we’d spend a lot of time in the no-code configs - it’s easier to code with Paragon if we need anything more involved.
Josef Hlavacek
CEO (ex-Twilio engineering), Nyota
With Paragon we could bring integrations to our customers quicker than Prismatic. It also helps that you offered quite some support from the start and are developing features like Paragraph which will help us a lot.
Etienne Gerts
CTO, Solvimon
What I really liked about Paragon is the flexibility because we can still write our own custom JavaScript to extend the platform. Prismatic has a huge library of connectors but you won’t know what to use or where to use them.
