Universal Webhook Ingestion, Normalization & Sanitization Pipeline
Normalize unpredictable, nested third-party webhook payloads into clean, unified database schemas with idempotency protection.
System Directive • Copy and Paste Below
Act as a senior API integration and distributed systems engineer. Design a universal webhook ingestion and normalization pipeline that safely parses chaotic third-party webhook events into a unified database schema. ### WEBHOOK DATA SPECIFICATIONS: - Ingestion Source (e.g., Shopify, Stripe, Typeform, Custom CRM): [WEBHOOK_SOURCE] - Target Database Table & Schema: [TARGET_DATABASE_SCHEMA] - Known Data Inconsistencies (e.g., nested arrays, missing fields, unpredictable date formats, casing mismatches): [KNOWN_INCONSISTENCIES] - Peak Expected Volume (events per minute): [EXPECTED_VOLUME] ### PIPELINE REQUIREMENTS: 1. **Security & Signature Verification**: - HMAC SHA-256 signature validation code snippet to reject forged webhook requests immediately at the edge. 2. **Idempotency & Deduplication Engine**: - Redis or SQL-based idempotency key cache pattern (`event_id` or hash of body) to ensure duplicate webhook retries are ignored safely. 3. **Data Normalization & Sanitization (Node.js / Python code)**: - Deep nested object flattening. - ISO-8601 UTC date normalization. - String sanitization (HTML entity strip, phone number E.164 normalization, email lowercase trim). 4. **Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) & Fallback**: - What happens when a malformed payload fails parsing (saving raw payload to cold storage table with error trace for re-processing). 5. **Sub-Second HTTP 200 Acknowledgment**: - Decoupled architecture pattern (Instant 200 OK response followed by asynchronous background worker processing via queue).
Customization & Placeholders
Provide your source and destination schemas. The generated JavaScript/Python transformation handles missing fields gracefully.
Example Input Values
Source: Typeform customer inquiries, Target: PostgreSQL `leads` table, Inconsistencies: Multi-choice answers in arbitrary JSON arrays, Volume: 50/min.
Expected Output Structure
Edge HMAC validator, flattening function in JavaScript, idempotency Redis logic, and raw payload DLQ schema.
