Webhook Testing for Modern Applications | Challenges and Considerations
summary
Demo builds a runnable webhook flow: a Python sender and receiver with curl simulation that shows City1 hits and City5 misses. Covers concrete failure modes — token expiry, wrong URL, rate limits, duplicate deliveries, timeouts — and validation steps: payload schema checks, bidirectional contract testing, retry logic and monitoring. Includes security and compliance checks (GDPR, PCI) and practical load/stress/volume testing guidance. Watch if hands‑on demos and clear failure examples decide your tooling and tests.
