API returned success. The system hasn't finished yet
- Bridgexapi 5mo agobeen running into this a few times in production api returns success, everything looks fine, but the actual result happens later and sometimes doesn’t match what you expect especially with async stuff, queues, external providers, timing between systems wrote this to try and map out what’s actually happening between “request handled” and the final outcome curious how others think about it

- Bridgexapi 5mo agoyeah fair, a lot of this exists in different forms already for me it wasn’t really about the idea itself, more how often this still trips you up in real systems things look identical at the API level, same response, same logs, but the actual outcome drifts depending on what happens after that’s the part that kept biting me in production, so tried to break that down a bit more concretely
