README

Talking about distributed computers & servers, it is quite normal nowadays to communicate between servers.

Unlike a regular conversation though, there's no guarantee the message gets delivered only once, arrives in the right order, or even gets a "got it!" reply.

Thus, we have Inbox Pattern to help us to achieve that.

What is the Inbox Pattern

The Inbox Pattern is a popular design pattern in the microservice architecture that ensures:

• High availability ✅
• Guaranteed webhook deliverance, no msg lost ✅
• Guaranteed exactly-once/unique webhook requests ✅
• Execute webhook requests in ORDER/sequence ✅
• (Optional) High visibility & debug all prev requests ✅

And with that being said:

Laravel Inbox Process (powered by ShipSaaS) ships everything out-of-the-box and helps you to roll out the inbox process in no time 😎🚀.
