Webhook Observability Gaps Threaten Critical Infrastructure
Most webhook tools only provide status codes and timestamps, leaving gaps in payload integrity, processing verification, and security audit trails. As webhooks drive payments, compliance, and AI pipelines, the lack of verifiable delivery evidence becomes a liability. True proof requires cryptographic digests, path tracing, and tamper-evident chains, not just logs.

This piece correctly identifies a growing blind spot in distributed systems, but the solution—cryptographic delivery evidence—remains niche and adds complexity that most teams will resist until regulation forces it.
