Before shipping webhooks to production
- Always verify signatures — no exceptions, no matter how small the project
- HTTPS only — sending sensitive payload over plain HTTP means anyone between the two servers can read it
- Store before processing — persist the raw payload to the database before running any business logic;
Webhooks aren't just "HTTP requests someone else sends you." They're the backbone of event-driven architecture
