Integration Readiness

Reproducibly test webhook signatures, idempotency, retries and release boundaries.

All learning paths
Developers working together on this learning path's technical task

Guided implementation

From the boundary to a verifiable result.

  1. 01

    Register the endpoint

    Use a dedicated HTTPS route. Local, private and insecure targets are rejected.

  2. 02

    Verify raw bytes before parsing

    Verify the timestamp and HMAC over the unchanged request body before accepting JSON.

  3. 03

    Process idempotently

    Store the event ID. A retry must not create duplicate records or duplicate external effects.

  4. 04

    Test the failure mode

    Deliberately test 401, 422, timeout and retry. Sandbox tests are not approval for real production events.

Complete when …

  • The signature is verified before JSON
  • The event ID is deduplicated
  • Retries are bounded
  • Monitoring contains no secrets
