Webhook Processing (Node.js, BullMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL, Docker, TypeScript) overview

A webhook ingestion and processing pipeline that receives, validates, deduplicates, and reliably processes incoming webhooks from third-party services like Stripe, GitHub, and Twilio. BullMQ in Redis provides ordered job queues with configurable retry policies, dead-letter queues, and concurrency control. PostgreSQL stores webhook payloads and processing status for audit trails and replayability. HMAC signature verification ensures payload authenticity. Docker containers isolate the ingestion endpoint from processing workers for independent scaling. Targeted at integration teams building robust event-driven architectures. The tradeoff is the complexity of idempotency handling and the operational burden of monitoring queue depths across many webhook sources.
