Comment on The Valley of Webhooks

Comments

Nice write-up of the webhook data consistency problem - I've been bitten by some of those Stripe issues myself. I agree that webhooks should come hand-in-hand with a "records updated since" endpoint that allows high-level discrepancy checks and API endpoints to pull full logs for any record. There needs to be some sort of reconciliation process that is both fully verifiable and not a firehose of data.
