I'm all for /events and appreciate the platforms with good support. However, we live in a world where people build event-driven and serverless architecture. The use cases go beyond replication, and webhooks are here to stay.

The thing is, you can get the best of both worlds by using webhooks in conjunction with /events reconciliation. That might seem like a lot of work, but that's what tooling is for. Webhooks are complicated to handle reliably, but it's a problem that has good tools the same way sequin (and many others) is helping developers solve the replication problem.

For webhooks, hookdeck.com (disclaimer, I'm the founder) address entirely the problems stated and will soon offer automatic reconciliation (currently running our polling Beta on with Shopify API)
