How do people in production handle the possibility that your service might miss a webhook notification? If you miss a notification you'll end up with stale data and you won't know it.

Slack has a retry policy for a while but will then just give up. Another webhook provider I've looked at says nothing at all about this sort of thing. How do folks deal with this in production systems?

Seems to me like the best way to address this issue is to use the webhook as a hint that you need to run some other process that guarantees you've got all updates.
