Documentation

Breaking Changes

N/A – initial release.

Known Issues

  • Using old version of Tailwind CSS in the client. Need to update to latest to speed up build.
  • Since the Webhooks sent to the server by Meta pass through a synchronization mechanism, you cannot scale the server horizontally (multiple replicas). We might solve this issue with a service like Redis or RabbitMQ.
