Smarter webhook retries

Webhooks are how Ferrow tells your systems that something broke. Until now a failed delivery was retried three times and then dropped. This release gives you control over what happens next.

What is new

• Retry policy. Pick a backoff schedule per endpoint: linear, exponential or custom, with up to 8 retries over 24 hours.

• Dead-letter queue. Events that still fail are kept for 14 days, with the last response code and body, and can be replayed one by one or all at once.

• Delivery log. Every attempt shows the status code, latency and the signature that was sent.

Improvements

• Signature verification examples for Node, Python and Go in the docs.

• Endpoints that return 410 Gone are paused automatically instead of retried.

Good to know

Existing endpoints keep the old policy of three retries until you change it. Open Settings, then Webhooks, then Retry policy to opt in.
