Stripe Webhooks for Serverless SaaS

Introduction​

Stripe webhooks are essential for building reliable payment processing in your serverless SaaS application. They provide real-time notifications about payment events, ensuring your application stays synchronized with payment status changes without requiring manual intervention.

AWS Serverless Architecture

This tutorial focuses on implementing Stripe webhooks using AWS serverless services including AWS Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and AWS Secrets Manager. We'll walk through configuring webhook endpoints that automatically scale with your traffic while maintaining zero idle costs. If you're wondering why we reference Lambda functions and other AWS services, it's because we're building a complete serverless payment processing system on AWS.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk through configuring Stripe webhooks for a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda, including webhook verification, event handling, and best practices for secure payment processing automation.

note

This guide focuses on implementing Stripe webhooks in a serverless environment. If you're building a serverless SaaS with the Scale to Zero AWS Kit, webhook handling infrastructure is already pre-configured and ready to use.

Scale to Zero Serverless Architecture

Introduction​

Scale to zero is one of the most powerful concepts in modern serverless architecture that can dramatically reduce your infrastructure costs while maintaining high performance and availability. But what exactly does "scale to zero" mean, and how can you leverage it to build a successful SaaS application?

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the scale-to-zero concept, its benefits, and how you can build production-ready SaaS applications using serverless architecture that automatically scales from zero to millions of users.

note

This guide covers the general scale-to-zero concept in serverless computing. Later in the article, we'll also introduce the Scale to Zero AWS Kit - a specific product that implements these concepts as a production-ready SaaS starter kit.
