Ownership Tangles: Giving multiple teams or users the ability to define their own webhook transformations often meant granting them broader application deployment privileges, or setting up complex, isolated microservices for each. ✅ Robust Implementation: Under the hood, it uses standard Python async capabilities (asyncio, FastAPI) along with thread pools and locking (ThreadPoolExecutor, asyncio.Lock) to handle requests concurrently while ensuring safe access to the DuckDB database. It's aiming to solve a deeper set of problems around making runtime behavior highly configurable via data, and shifting who owns the transformation logic.
