Summary

The Valley of Webhooks analyzes how webhook-based integrations inevitably evolve into complex replication problems: ordering, deduplication, bootstrap, and reconciliation. It argues that webhooks are notifications, not durable datasets, and that relying on provider logs leads to brittleness and data gaps. The author proposes a pull-based feed model called SCROLL (Synchronized Change Replication Over Line Logs) as a more robust alternative and invites community feedback to refine the concept.
