Retries on the checkout webhook worker were unbounded: a failing delivery re-queued itself forever and amplified load on payments-api. This caps delivery at 5 attempts with exponential backoff and dead-letters the payload after the last one.

What changed

worker/deliver.ts gains MAX_DELIVERY_ATTEMPTS = 5 and backoff between attempts; exhausted payloads land in checkout-webhooks-dlq instead of re-queueing.

Validation

npm test — 214 passed. A forced failing delivery stopped after 5 attempts and appeared in the dead-letter queue.

A fix you didn't have to write. And reasons to trust it.

  • Written like a teammate would

    In a sandbox, on a branch, following your commit conventions and your repo's instructions.

  • Checked before it opens

    A safety review hunts the ways a correct diff still breaks a deploy: locking migrations, mixed-version breaks.

  • Stops at your review

    Your review and your CI decide the merge, full stop.

  • It learns from a no

    Close the pull request unmerged and Polylane works out why, and doesn't repeat it.

Your review is the merge button. Polylane never merges on its own.
