Webhooks are simply HTTP Post requests

Occasionally, I meet an engineer to whom I explain what Convoy does, and they go on to say —isn’t webhooks simply an HTTP Post request; why do we need a service for that, some express this with a bit of disdain. This reminds me of a comment I received years back when I newly learned about feature flags as a concept and LaunchDarkly as a product to add flags to your application.

Stripe webhooks DoS caused $23k Vercel bills

Yes, you read the title correctly. A stripe webhook caused a DoS> attack on a Vercel function, translating into 63 GB of serverless execution and a $23k bill in 48 hours. As a great CEO, Rauch stepped up to the occasion and provided transparency and a full refund. This incident is a good lesson on cascading failures.
