Implement the following best practices for effective webhook integration:
Retry Mechanisms and Handling Failures: Implement retry mechanisms to account for temporary issues, such as network errors or server downtime. Use exponential backoff and jitter to space out retry attempts and minimize the risk of overloading the receiving system.
Scalability and Performance: Optimize webhook handling by using queuing systems (e.g., RabbitMQ or Apache Kafka) or background processing libraries (e.g., Celery for Python or Bull for Node.js) to process events asynchronously, ensuring high throughput and low latency.
Verification Tokens: Use a shared secret (verification token) to validate incoming webhook requests, ensuring that they originate from the intended sender.
