Stripe has a great API. Pretty much everyone I've talked to about it agrees, and it's often cited as a solid example of a best practice.

One of the best parts is their webhooks. The question is: how can I clone them?

I read in a blog post somewhere that the webhooks are based in large part upon a MongoDB collection that acts as a message queue. Sounds like a solid piece of advice, and I understand how Mongo's non-relational data storage makes for a pretty slick way of persisting events/messages. Besides that... any other hints? I'm look at you, Stripe devs.

Alternatively, are there SaaS services or open source libraries that help with this problem or am I stuck re-inventing the wheel?
