Case Study: HiredScore unifies third-party API consumption and enforces rate limits with Lunar.dev

How HiredScore is Using Lunar to Enforce 429s and Unify Third Party API Consumption

HiredScore, an HR tech company, faced significant challenges in managing its numerous and complex integrations with third-party HR systems and APIs. Consuming these APIs on behalf of their clients introduced risks, particularly around handling errors, authentication, and rate limiting (like 429 errors). To gain control and observability over this critical but non-core part of their business, they turned to the vendor Lunar Dev for a solution.

Lunar Dev provided HiredScore with its API proxy solution to unify and manage all third-party API consumption through a single location. This gave HiredScore centralized control for implementing rate limit policies and, by integrating Lunar's observability dashboard with Grafana, provided crucial visibility into API call volumes and failures. The solution operated within HiredScore's own VPC, ensuring security, and allowed their teams to focus on their core business IP rather than the "plumbing" of API management.
