Challenges in system integration

I’ve been working on a project that requires integrating several legacy systems, and it’s proving to be quite a headache. The reliability of the data flow is critical, yet I’m encountering inconsistencies that make everything feel unstable. Has anyone else faced similar challenges, and what strategies did you find effective to ensure system integration runs smoothly?

, I totally get your frustration with legacy systems. I’ve had success using middleware tools to smooth out those data flow inconsistencies. Have you considered something like Apache NiFi?
