Dead-letter queue (DLQ)

A queue that holds messages or webhook deliveries that failed after exhausting all retry attempts, queryable and replayable.

RateStack's webhook DLQ retains failed deliveries for 90 days by default. List via the API, inspect the payload, replay through the rate-limited replay endpoint. The DLQ is the operational fallback for subscribers that experience an outage.
