Description

@greatest0fallt1me

Description

Allow users to register outbound webhooks (signed) for stream lifecycle events delivered from backend.

Requirements and context

  • Retry policy with exponential backoff.
  • Signing secret per subscriber.

Suggested execution

  • Fork the repository and create a branch (example below).
  • Implement changes in StreamPay-Backend (TypeScript / Express per package.json).
  • Keep the service secure, tested, and documented; prefer small, reviewable PRs.
git checkout -b feature/outbound-webhooks

Implementation targets

  • Tables: webhook_subscriptions, webhook_deliveries.
  • Delivery worker.

Tests and validation

  • Tests: HMAC signature verification on sample payload.

  • Run npm test and npm run lint in StreamPay-Backend.

  • Cover edge cases; include test output and brief security notes in the PR description.

Guidelines

  • Target minimum 95% test coverage on new or changed backend code (or justify gaps).
  • Clear documentation (OpenAPI / README / inline docs as specified).
  • Timeframe: 96 hours from assignment.
