Webhooks | System Design | High Level Design
Welcome to a concise guide on Webhooks in system design! Join me as I explore this essential tool for enabling real-time communication between web applications.
What are Webhooks?
Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks that are triggered by specific events in a web application. When an event occurs, the source application sends an HTTP POST request to the configured URL, allowing the receiving application to process the information in real-time.
Consider an e-commerce platform that uses webhooks to notify a warehouse management system (WMS) of new orders. When a customer places an order, the e-commerce platform sends a webhook to the WMS with order details. The WMS processes the order, updates inventory, and prepares the order for shipping. This real-time communication ensures efficient order fulfillment and accurate inventory management.
