New in Hookdeck Event Gateway: event cancellations.

Webhook delivery offers no control after events are sent. Hookdeck adds queue-level features: retries, delays, pauses, and cancellations.

Cancel events before delivery, filter conditions, and retry later.

hookdeck.com/docs/dedupl...

Hookdeck @hookdeck.com · Sep 2

With Hookdeck’s deduplication rule, you only need to handle each order once per store, regardless of how many of your apps are installed.

Idempotency is still essential in your app, but deduplication cuts down the noise so your backend isn’t overwhelmed.

🛠️ Shopify app builders: shipping multiple apps with the same webhooks?

Problem:

- You built inventory, fulfillment, and analytics apps
- A merchant installs all three
- An 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀/𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 event comes in three times - once per app
- That’s triple the webhook traffic and processing overhead

Event-driven architecture with robust queuing is your friend. Decouple, buffer, and process webhooks reliably.

Hookdeck @hookdeck.com · Jul 25

Idempotency isn't just a nice-to-have - it's critical. Your webhook handler needs to handle the same event multiple times without side effects.

Synchronous webhook processing? Recipe for disaster. You'll hit timeouts, dropped connections, and potentially trigger retry storms.

Hookdeck @hookdeck.com · Jul 25

Webhooks are not a trivial problem at scale. When you're processing thousands of events per second, your strategy matters.

Webhooks are usually delivered at-least-once. Assume duplicates and out-of-order events are the norm, not the exception.

Key considerations include:

- Selecting appropriate message brokers
- Understanding distributed streaming platforms
- Designing flexible event gateways
- Creating resilient microservices architectures

The goal? Build systems that react in real-time and adapt to changing business needs.
