Webhook Integration

This handles the full webhook lifecycle, both sending and receiving events with proper security. You get HMAC signature verification, exponential backoff retry logic, and idempotency handling out of the box. The reference guides cover TypeScript sender implementation, Express receiver setup, Bull queue integration for reliable delivery, and testing utilities. Use it when you're integrating with services like Stripe or GitHub, building event notification systems, or syncing data between microservices. The best practices section is solid on the security fundamentals, like preventing replay attacks and never exposing internal errors to webhook consumers.

Overview

Implement robust webhook systems for event-driven architectures, enabling real-time communication between services and third-party integrations.

When to Use

Third-party service integrations (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify)
Event notification systems
Real-time data synchronization
Automated workflow triggers
Payment processing callbacks
CI/CD pipeline notifications
User activity tracking
Microservices communication

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

import crypto from "crypto";
import axios from "axios";

interface WebhookEvent {
  id: string;
  type: string;
  timestamp: number;
  data: any;
}

interface WebhookEndpoint {
  url: string;
  secret: string;
  events: string[];
  active: boolean;
}

interface DeliveryAttempt {
  attemptNumber: number;
  timestamp: number;
  statusCode?: number;
  error?: string;
  duration: number;
}

// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
