To avoid losing responses coming through webhook from HeadHunter, it is necessary to ensure reliable processing and acknowledgment of data receipt. Main mechanisms:
-
Idempotency — processing repeated requests without side effects, as the webhook may be sent multiple times.
-
Receipt confirmation — the server should return an HTTP status 200 OK or another code confirming successful receipt, so that HeadHunter does not resend.
-
Message queue — immediately after receiving the webhook, place the data into a queue (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka) for asynchronous and reliable processing.
-
Logging and monitoring — record all incoming requests and processing errors for subsequent analysis.
-
Reprocessing and backup storage — save unprocessed messages for reattempts in case of failures.
Example in Go for receiving a webhook with confirmation and placing it into a queue:
func webhookHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Bad Request", http.StatusBadRequest)
return
}
// Validation and parsing of body
// Place data into queue for further processing
err = enqueueMessage(body)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Internal Server Error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK) // Confirm successful receipt
}
