The recursive webhook handler that loops back on itself endlessly

by•

Hooked up a payment gateway webhook to automatically post transaction updates to our Slack channel.

Added an internal logging service that also triggered a status ping back to the gateway to confirm receipt.

Created an infinite loop: Gateway -> Webhook -> Logger -> Gateway -> Webhook.

Hit our monthly serverless execution quota within 20 minutes, and Third-Party API temporarily suspended our integration key.
