Webhook Service in Golang

This project demonstrates a webhook service implemented in Golang. It uses Redis for message queuing and supports exponential backoff and concurrent processing using goroutines.

Features

• Concurrent Processing: Processes multiple webhooks simultaneously using goroutines.
• Exponential Backoff: Implements a retry mechanism with exponential backoff for failed webhook deliveries.
• Redis Integration: Utilizes Redis for message queuing and pub/sub messaging.
• Dockerized Application: Easily deployable using Docker.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.21 or higher
• Redis server
• Docker (optional for containerized deployment)

Getting Started

Clone the Repository

git https://github.com/ivanbulyk/webhook-golang.git
cd wehook-golang

Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file at the root of the project and add the following content:

REDIS_ADDRESS=redis:6379
WEBHOOK_ADDRESS=<WEBHOOK_ADDRESS>

Replace <WEBHOOK_ADDRESS> with your webhook URL.

Running with Docker

Build and start the container:

docker compose up -d --build

Track the logs:

docker compose logs -f

Hit http://127.0.0.1:8000/payment to start sending data to the webhook service through Redis.

Testing

You can use a service like webhook.site to obtain a free webhook URL for testing.
