Question
In which way do webhooks notify a client about server or application changes by default?
Options
- AAsynchronously
- BPeriodically
- CIn real time
- DSynchronously
Explanation
Webhooks push event notifications to a client in real time the moment a triggering event occurs on the server, with no polling required.
Common mistakes.
- A. Asynchronous describes a processing model but not the timing characteristic of webhooks - the notification is sent immediately at the time of the event, not with arbitrary or scheduled delay.
- B. Periodic notification describes polling, where the client checks for updates on a fixed schedule, which is the opposite of the server-initiated webhook model.
- D. Synchronous means the client blocks waiting for a response within the same connection - webhooks are outbound server-initiated pushes, not responses within a synchronous request cycle.
