Integrating with Odoo can vary depending on the external systems involved, the specific version of Odoo, and the level of customization required.Commonly used protocols for interacting with Odoo are XML-RPC and JSON-RPC.Maintaining a successful integration over time comes with various challenges. Examples are:

• Scaling for managing volume
• Effectively manage changes
• Build a unique solution that will work without downtime
• Often, some form of intermediate storage is needed to achieve speed.
• Management of logging to see errors and be able to rerun them
• Robust  debugging tools
• It must be able to run even if the connected system experiences downtime
• Monitoring
• Support

You can efficiently address these challenges using middleware that handles all communication between the external system and Odoo JSON’s RPC.
