Build a 10M Events/Day Webhook System: Beyond Simple POST Requests
Scaling webhooks requires robust queues, retries, and observability, not just a basic POST request.
●Builder Action:Developers must move beyond basic HTTP POST requests. Implement durable queues (Kafka, SQS) for event buffering, exponential backoff retry strategies, and dead-letter queues for failure analysis. Monitor delivery rates, latency, and queue depth vigilantly.

Goose and MCP Bring Local AI Agents to Your Terminal
Block's open-source Goose agent uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) to give AI access to your local files and tools.
●Builder Action:Developers can now integrate AI directly into their terminal workflows. Goose, using MCP, allows AI agents to discover and interact with local files, databases (like SQLite, Postgres), and system tools without custom scripts. This enables AI-assisted coding, automated testing, and dynamic code generation directly within your development environment.
