Managing the Burnout Burndown
- Anjuan Simmons
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to catch and process webhooks like a pro. You’ll build a Rails app that’s both robust and low-latency so you keep up in real-time like a champ. Come ready to level up your skills and leave with the expertise you need to become a true webhook wizard! We will begin by exploring the fundamentals of webhooks: how they work, why they are useful, and how they differ from other approaches. We will then dive into the hard-won lessons learned for consuming and processing webhooks, including routing, handling payloads, and responding to events. Along the way, we will explore best practices like error handling, authentication, retries, idempotency, and scaling. You’ll walk away with a solid understanding for how to build a resilient and robust system to handle webhook notifications from a wide range of external services and APIs. Attendees will leave the workshop with a working webhook processor running on Rails!
