Serverless functions are a natural fit for webhook endpoints. Each incoming event triggers a function without needing a running server. This ensures instant response regardless of traffic volume. Failed events can be retried automatically. Webhook handling becomes reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient.
Webhook reliability improves without infrastructure complexity. Scaling issues disappear.
This makes integrations between platforms simpler and more resilient.
Serverless functions commonly handle webhook events.
