   • Implement request queuing for high-volume scenarios

3. Database Connection Issues

   • Verify database credentials
   • Check database server status
   • Review connection pool settings

4. Webhook Failures

   • Verify webhook URL accessibility
   • Check webhook secret configuration
   • Monitor webhook event logs
