Webhook Best Practices: Retry Logic, Idempotency, and Error Handling
<h1> Webhook Best Practices: Retry Logic, Idempotency, and Error Handling </h1> <p>Most webhook integrations fail silently. A handler returns 500, the provider retries a few times, then stops. Your system never processed the event and no one knows.</p> <p>Webhooks are not guaranteed delivery by default. How reliably your integration works depends almost entirely on how you write the receiver. This guide covers the patterns that make webhook handlers production-grade: proper retry handling, idempotency, error response codes, and queue-based processing.</p> <h2> Understand the Delivery Model </h2> <p>Before building handlers, understand what you are dealing with:</p> <ul> <li>Providers send webhook events as HTTP POST requests</li> <li>They expect a 2xx response within a timeout (typically 5
Why AI Agents Need a Trust Layer (And How We Built One)
<p><em>What happens when AI agents need to prove they're reliable before anyone trusts them with real work?</em></p> <h2> The Problem No One's Talking About </h2> <p>Every week, a new AI agent framework drops. Autonomous agents that can write code, send emails, book flights, manage databases. The capabilities are incredible.</p> <p>But here's the question nobody's answering: <strong>how do you know which agent to trust?</strong></p> <p>Right now, hiring an AI agent feels like hiring a contractor with no references, no portfolio, and no track record. You're just... hoping it works. And when it doesn't, there's no accountability trail.</p> <p>We kept running into this building our own multi-agent systems:</p> <ul> <li>Agent A says it can handle email outreach. Can it? Who knows.</li> <li>Age
Building a scoring engine with pure TypeScript functions (no ML, no backend)
<p>We needed to score e-commerce products across multiple dimensions: quality, profitability, market conditions, and risk.</p> <p>The constraints:</p> <ul> <li>Scores must update in real time</li> <li>Must run entirely in the browser (Chrome extension)</li> <li>Must be explainable (not a black box)</li> </ul> <p>We almost built an ML pipeline — training data, model serving, APIs, everything.</p> <p>Then we asked a simple question:</p> <p><strong>Do we actually need machine learning for this?</strong></p> <p>The answer was no.</p> <p>We ended up building several scoring engines in pure TypeScript.<br> Each one is a single function, under 100 lines, zero dependencies, and runs in under a millisecond.</p> <h2> What "pure function" means here </h2> <p>Each scoring engine follows 3 rules:</p> <
