I'm excited to apply for this issue.

I have experience building backend features and contributing to open-source projects, with a strong focus on reliability, security, and test coverage. This webhook management system aligns well with my experience implementing backend APIs, event-driven workflows, validation, and automated testing.

For this issue, I plan to:

• Design a flexible webhook data model that supports future extensibility.
• Implement secure webhook registration and management.
• Build reliable event delivery with retry logic and exponential backoff where appropriate.
• Add HMAC signature generation and verification to ensure webhook authenticity.
• Implement delivery tracking, status reporting, and rate limiting.
• Develop comprehensive unit and integration tests to validate registration, delivery, retries, signature verification, and failure scenarios.

I'll ensure the implementation is clean, well-documented, and follows the project's existing architecture and coding standards. I'm looking forward to contributing a robust and maintainable webhook system that satisfies all the acceptance criteria.

Thank you for considering my application!

I'd like to work on this issue.

I'll implement a robust webhook management system with registration, event delivery, retry handling, signature verification, delivery tracking, and rate limiting. I'll design the webhook data model, ensure reliable and secure event delivery, provide tooling for webhook testing, and add comprehensive tests covering successful delivery, retries, signature validation, tracking, and failure scenarios to ensure the feature is production-ready.

Hi! I'd like to take on the webhook system implementation.

I've reviewed the requirements and understand that the goal is to build a reliable webhook infrastructure covering registration, event triggering, delivery, retries, signature verification, tracking, rate limiting, and testing.

I'll keep the implementation scoped to the requested functionality and verify the system before submitting the PR.

I'd appreciate being assigned this issue if it is available. Thank you!
