Improved Stability for Functional Webhooks

In this release, Functional Webhooks have been enhanced to optimize stability and resilience under high loads. One element of this enhancement is designed to limit further requests to downstream systems when a high number of pending requests is already active. In this way, the load on downstream systems is balanced and customers receive a more decisive experience.

To limit bottlenecks, third-party integrations of function webhooks should typically respond within ten (10) seconds of the request, and in no more than twenty (20) seconds of the request in extreme cases.

This enhancement is intended to provide a more performant end-customer experience and allow merchants to easily identify and mitigate bottlenecks in synchronous downstream integrations.
