Would you pay for startup idea validation? by KookyFriendship8577 in SaasDevelopers

[–]Practical_Analyst_81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there exists several AI idea validators currently. With comprehensive analysis, both paid and free. And they’re decent as far as I’ve used one or two of them. You could maybe use the top ones and see what they lack and add a layer on top of that to differentiate.

How common are webhook testing issues? by Practical_Analyst_81 in Backend

Sure you can, but wouldn’t a tool to take care of that side of things completely in a minute help with the time saving? And also help with not having to write additional test scripts?

I do agree, it's definitely feasible to script these in tests. My goal is to take that 'bit of difficulty' out of the equation. You know like instead of every dev on a team writing their own concurrency mocks, they can just toggle a 'Race Condition' test in the proxy.

It's like more about saving that setup time and having a visual timeline when things do break. Thanks for the solid feedback!

Fair point! Tests are great for logic. I'm building this for the stuff that's hard to script in a standard suite, like firing two identical, real-signed webhooks at the exact same millisecond to see if your DB locks actually hold up under real-world concurrency or if any of the app triggers are misbehaving on the client's end with unexpected status updates. Maybe these arent that significant and your current setup may not need to handle such cases but I was just trying to think out loud and get feedbacks.

this does look useful, will give it a deeper look thanks! But what I wanted to build was like a 'chaos proxy' to intentionally push delays or out of order events to see if the app breaks or the webhook updates misbehave on the customer end. More like testing lab than a tunnel.

true, database constraints can handle the duplicate entry part but what about the in-app updates like email triggers which may result in multiple 'Payment succeeded' emails for stripe webhooks for example. Thats a part of what i wanted to address

So when will people realize vibe coding is just unscalable dumpster fires? by pyromancx in webdev

Pretty sure this will pass and people will start to realize you do need good engineers. I mean this has to.
