SaaS Factory is positioned as an AI infrastructure platform in the developer tools space, yet there is zero public-facing API. Every action — triggering pipelines, reading features, checking pipeline status — requires logging into the dashboard. Competitors like Factory.ai offer deep CI/CD integration hooks. The platform has an internal webhook receiver (github/route.ts, webhooks/support/ingest) and tRPC internally, but no documented external REST API or outbound webhook system that would let developers integrate SaaS Factory into their existing tooling (Slack commands, GitHub Actions, Zapier, n8n). A public /api/v1/* REST API with API key authentication, rate limiting (src/lib/rate-limit.ts already exists), and outbound webhooks for events (pipeline completed, feature discovered, deployment successful) would position the platform as infrastructure rather than a walled garden. The template already has a webhook-deliver.ts Inngest function stub showing intent, but no platform-level equivalent exists.
