Custom REST API & Webhook Microservices
Scalable backend API development connecting mobile applications, third-party partners, and internal business platforms through clean, resilient contracts.
The Core Challenge
Third-party integrations crashing under scale due to erratic payloads, lack of rate limiting, and unhandled network timeouts.
Architectural Solution
Engineered high-speed JSON endpoints featuring JWT authentication, input validation schemas, and queue-backed webhook event delivery.
Complete System Execution Flow
API Contract Definition
Establishing OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications with strict request/response data types and HTTP codes.
Authentication & Gatekeeping
Requests pass through JWT token validation, IP whitelisting, and Redis-backed rate limiting gates.
Business Logic & DB Operations
Controllers execute normalized transactions and return standardized JSON error/success envelopes.
Asynchronous Webhook Relays
Events trigger background workers that dispatch webhooks to partner endpoints with exponential retry logic.
Production Modules Breakdown (20 Core Systems)
A comprehensive functional inventory of all integrated operational subsystems engineered into this platform:
1. RESTful Semantic Route Architecture
Clean URI structures following standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
2. JSON Web Token (JWT) Authenticator
Stateless token issuance, refresh token rotation, and claims-based validation.
3. Scope & Role Permission Filters
Granular token authorization scopes restricting third parties to specific endpoints.
4. Redis Rate Limiter & Throttler
Leaky bucket algorithms preventing API abuse by capping requests per IP or API key per minute.
5. Strict Request Payload Validator
Early rejection of malformed JSON payloads before reaching the application database layer.
6. Standardized JSON Envelope
Consistent response schemas returning data, message, error_code, and timestamp across all APIs.
7. Pagination, Filtering & Sorting Matrix
Offset/cursor pagination with field selection to minimize network bandwidth consumption.
8. Asynchronous Webhook Event Dispatcher
Queue-backed workers delivering real-time event notifications to external client systems.
9. Exponential Backoff Retry Routine
Automated retries (30s, 2m, 10m, 1h) when partner webhook listener servers return 5xx errors.
10. Webhook HMAC Signature Verifier
Signing outgoing and incoming webhook payloads with SHA-256 secret keys for tamper protection.
11. API Versioning Gateway
URL and header-based versioning (/v1/, /v2/) enabling backwards-compatible feature upgrades.
12. Automated Swagger / OpenAPI Documentation
Interactive web documentation with sandboxed "Try-It-Out" test consoles for developers.
13. High-Speed Redis Response Caching
Sub-10ms response caching for heavy read-only lookup and configuration endpoints.
14. Unified Payment Gateway API Layer
Normalized abstraction wrapping multiple payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal).
15. SMS & WhatsApp API Integrator
Central notification microservice queueing and routing transactional alerts across carriers.
16. File & Media S3 Presigned Upload API
Direct client-to-cloud file uploads bypassing web servers to save backend resources.
17. Dead Letter Queue & Failure Alerts
Automated quarantine for persistently failing payloads with administrative email alerts.
18. Correlation ID Request Tracing
Injecting unique X-Request-ID headers across microservices for end-to-end debugging.
19. Database Connection Pooling Optimization
Managing high-throughput persistent database connections during traffic spikes.
20. Real-Time API Health & Latency Monitor
Dashboard tracking 99th percentile response latencies, status code distribution (2xx, 4xx, 5xx), and uptimes.
