Published a new Contra project:
Payment Lifecycle Integration Backend
This project focuses on a backend problem I care about a lot:
how to keep an internal payment workflow correct when the external provider is asynchronous and outside your control.
The system models:
· explicit payment state transitions
· idempotent create requests
· webhook-driven updates
· audit logs
· reconciliation for recovery

Interesting project. Payment workflows can get tricky, so this is a cool problem to tackle.

Exactly — the tricky part isn’t just calling the provider, but keeping the internal workflow correct when events are async and outside your control.

That’s a great point. Handling async events without breaking the internal workflow definitely makes things more complex.

Yeah, exactly. The hard part is handling async events without letting the internal workflow drift. And once it drifts, recovery adds another layer.
