'92% error rate with Stripe webhooks, unpredictable response
I'm setting up Stripe webhooks for the first time. I've made dozens of test requests and I've had an error rate of 92%. It's unpredictable as to why the failures occur.
The failure responses on the dashboard are either:
Timed out connecting to remote host
or
Failed to connect to remote host
My webhook (I've simplified it for testing). 8% of the time, I get a 200 response with {received: true}:
expressRouter.route('/hooks').post( async (req, res) => {
const event = req.body;
console.log("Event:");
console.log(event);
// Handle the event
switch (event.type) {
case 'payment_intent.succeeded':
const paymentIntent = event.data.object;
// Then define and call a method to handle the successful payment intent.
// handlePaymentIntentSucceeded(paymentIntent);
break;
case 'payment_method.attached':
const paymentMethod = event.data.object;
// Then define and call a method to handle the successful attachment of a PaymentMethod.
// handlePaymentMethodAttached(paymentMethod);
break;
// ... handle other event types
default:
console.log(`Unhandled event type ${event.type}`);
}
// Return a response to acknowledge receipt of the event
res.json({received: true});
})
I have added Stripe's IPs to iptables. I'm running my server with Caddy on Ubuntu 18.04. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
