The difficulty of a foolproof solution isn't a great argument against a solution. That is, many cases, I'd rather have a webhook with the "only attempt once" strategy than an API I have to poll. "Pretty reliable" is often good enough. I think OP's question is valid.
- jjp 11y agoWhether pretty reliable is good enough depends very much on what you are trying to achieve. I'd rather my salary wasn't deposited into my bank account on a pretty reliable basis.
