Multi-Tenant Webhook Fan-Out Architecture: Isolating Event Streams Without Sacrificing Delivery Guarantees in Carrier Integration Systems

When you've built multi-tenant carrier integration systems, you quickly learn that traditional webhook patterns break under the unique pressures of shipping APIs. Multi-tenant SaaS applications typically limit tenants to 1M events per day, and anything beyond should be throttled and deferred. But carriers routinely blast you with tracking

Meanwhile, carrier integration middleware continues wrestling with the same chaos that telecom
