Implementation Patterns
Building webhooks that work well in production requires thoughtful design decisions. These guides cover the patterns and practices for implementing webhook systems, from payload design to subscription management.
Designing Webhook Payloads
Designing webhook payloads: fat vs thin payloads, versioning as your API evolves, and schema structure choices that keep your webhooks easy to consume.
Webhook Event Naming Conventions
Webhook event naming conventions: why resource.action names like payment.failed work, which tenses and cases to use, and mistakes that confuse developers.
Building a Webhook Sender
How to build a webhook sender for your service: detect events, construct payloads, deliver to customer endpoints, handle failures, and expose delivery logs.
