Do webhooks become a nightmare eventually or am I overthinking this?
Maybe I just haven’t dealt with enough scale yet, but webhook infrastructure feels way more annoying than people make it sound.
Stuff like:
- duplicate events
- retries
- random endpoint failures
- figuring out if something actually got delivered
- replayed failed/undelivered events
- debugging chains when multiple services are involved
Are people mostly just building all this internally? Or do services like Hookdeck/Svix actually become worth paying for at some point?
Curious what people here are doing and at what point it became painful enough to care.
