Same event ID arrives more than once without double-processing.
48-hour delivery after start conditions
Stripe Webhook Failure Drill
Prove that billing, provisioning, and entitlements stay correct when Stripe duplicates, reorders, delays, retries, or rejects an event.
One Stripe integration. Up to three handlers. Staging plus read-only code and log review. No live secrets required. The delivery clock starts after accepted scope, deposit, required access, and handler inventory. Email: anton@sdnbros.com.

Eight failure modes. One evidence-backed answer.
We run controlled cases against staging and trace each event through receipt, state change, retry, reconciliation, and alerting.
Later lifecycle events arrive before earlier ones without corrupting state.
Slow or failed handlers return safely and recover through retries.
Manual or provider replay cannot repeat irreversible side effects.
Bad, stale, and malformed signatures fail closed with useful logs.
Simultaneous deliveries cannot bypass idempotency or transaction boundaries.
Acknowledgement, enqueue, dead-letter, and retry behavior preserve the event.
A missed event can be detected and repaired from Stripe's source of truth.

- 45-minute engineering readout
- Optional implementation is scoped, priced, and approved separately
Clear boundaries
- No production mutation or platform migration
- No request for production signing secrets

- Implementation is separate and starts only after you approve the findings
- Authorized actions, data handling, deletion, confidentiality, and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before access
Illustrative evidence matrix
The synthetic rows below demonstrate the format; they are not client results. A paid drill provides testable facts, not a generic architecture deck.
| Case | Expected invariant | Evidence | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duplicate event | One entitlement update | Event ID, DB rows, handler logs | Illustrative pass |
| Concurrent replay | One irreversible side effect | Request timeline, idempotency record | Illustrative risk |
| Handler timeout | Event remains recoverable | HTTP trace, queue state, retry log | Illustrative pass |
Request availability and fit
Send the framework, handler count, staging access model, and deadline. We confirm fit before invoicing. If the scope does not fit, we say so on the call.
