The existing webhook system lacked the capability to efficiently distribute events to multiple consumers. Different consumers had varying requirements—some required synchronous event processing, while others needed asynchronous handling with robust retry mechanisms. Additionally, failures in one consumer risked blocking event propagation to others.
I designed and implemented a scalable, multi-consumer webhook system featuring configurable processing modes, intelligent retries, and robust fail-safe mechanisms. This system enhanced reliability and improved real-time data processing across various integrations.
Key Features:
- Blocking Mode: Sequential event processing to maintain order when necessary.
- Non-Blocking Mode: Asynchronous event handling to minimize delays.
- Intelligent Retry Mechanism: Automatic retries for failed deliveries, preventing impact on other consumers.
The implemented solution significantly boosted reliability, minimized delays in event handling, and streamlined external integrations.
By utilizing message queues and parallel processing, I ensured each event was optimally handled according to the specific needs of each consumer.
