Idempotency semantics

Idempotency prevents duplicate messages when clients retry POST requests.

How to use it

  1. Generate a unique Idempotency-Key per logical send.
  2. Reuse the same key for retries of the same request.
  3. Do not reuse the key for different payloads.

When to use it

  • Network timeouts
  • 429 responses with Retry-After
  • Client retries after transient failures
