Implementing webhooks

Webhooks play a crucial role in modern web development by enabling different systems to communicate and respond to events in real time. They are essentially HTTP callbacks triggered by specific events in one system, which then send a message or payload to another system. This asynchronous event-driven architecture allows for seamless integration with third-party services, real-time notifications, and automated workflows. Understanding how to implement webhooks effectively will empower you to build more interactive and responsive applications.

In this recipe, we will see how to create webhooks in FastAPI. We will create a webhook that notifies the webhook subscribers for each request of the API, acting like a monitoring system. By the end of this recipe, you will be able to implement a robust webhook system in your FastAPI application, facilitating real-time communication and integration with other services.
