How APIs Use Webhooks for Real-Time Event Delivery

Episode 74 of The API Podcast dives into the mechanics of webhooks — the unsung backbone of real-time event-driven APIs. Lucas and Luna break down how platforms like Stripe and GitHub use webhooks to push data the moment something happens, saving developers from constant polling. They explore the delivery contract between senders and receivers: retry logic, signature verification, and idempotency. A concrete walkthrough of a Stripe checkout flow shows what happens under the hood when a payment succeeds. The hosts also discuss where webhooks fall short — like guaranteed ordering — and how newer specs like CloudEvents are trying to standardize the chaos. Perfect for developers building integrations that need to react instantly. #Webhooks #EventDriven #RealtimeAPI #Stripe #GitHub #CloudEvents #WebhookSecurity #PayloadSigning #Idempotency #RetryLogic #APIArchitecture #Technology #APIDesign #PushVsPoll #EventDelivery #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheAPIPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
