Feature Announcement: Webhook Retries

Real-time events are essential for a dynamic user experience in chat applications, and Stream Chat webhooks enhance this by allowing servers to receive and process such events with domain-specific logic. These webhooks enable various functionalities like handling custom chat commands and notifications, crucial in settings like Customer Support where status updates are necessary. Previously, events could be lost if the server couldn't process webhook requests, but recent updates have introduced retry mechanisms, idempotency through a unique X-Webhook-ID header, and connection reuse to ensure reliability. These improvements, now available to all users, allow for more efficient and dependable event handling, with additional details accessible in the Stream Chat Webhooks Documentation.
