Control Throughput

Throughput control keeps a busy webhook stream from overwhelming a downstream service.

Use it when providers send bursts, consumers have rate limits, or retries could amplify a temporary outage.

Controls

  • Filter low-value events before delivery.
  • Set destination rate limits where the receiver has strict capacity.
  • Use retries with backoff instead of immediate repeated delivery.
  • Pause routes during planned maintenance and replay later.

Signals To Watch

  • Rising failed-event counts.
  • Retry spikes after a deploy or provider incident.
  • Long queues for one destination while other routes remain healthy.
