🔒 Security Best Practices

Credential Management

  1. Environment Variables: Store all API keys/tokens in environment variables
  2. Secrets Vaults: Use HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager for production
  3. Rotation Policy: Rotate credentials every 90 days minimum
  4. Least Privilege: Use restricted/scoped keys wherever possible
  5. Audit Logging: Log all API key usage and access patterns

Webhook Security

  1. Signature Verification: Implement HMAC-SHA256 verification for all webhooks
  2. HTTPS Only: Never expose HTTP webhook endpoints
  3. Request Validation: Validate all webhook payloads before processing
  4. Idempotency: Handle duplicate webhook deliveries gracefully
  5. Timeout Handling: Respond within provider timeouts (3s Slack, 4s Vonage)

Rate Limit Handling

  1. Exponential Backoff: Implement 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s retry delays
  2. Request Queuing: Queue requests to stay under rate limits
  3. Circuit Breakers: Temporarily halt after repeated failures
  4. Monitoring: Alert on rate limit hits
  5. Capacity Planning: Contact providers for increased limits early

💰 Cost Optimization Strategies

Email Services

  1. Tiered Usage: Start with Mailgun free tier, scale to paid at volume
  2. Provider Selection: Route marketing to SendGrid, transactional to Mailgun
  3. Validation: Use Mailgun validation API to reduce bounce costs
  4. Template Reuse: Centralize templates to reduce development costs

VoIP/SIP

  1. Least-Cost Routing: Route calls through lowest-cost provider by destination
  2. Volume Discounts: Negotiate committed use discounts at scale
  3. Regional Optimization: Use Plivo for regions with better rates
  4. Recording Limits: Only record critical calls to minimize storage
  5. Codec Selection: Use G.729 (low bandwidth) for cost-sensitive routes

Messaging

  1. MessageBird First: Leverage 90% SMS cost reduction (2024)
  2. WhatsApp 24-Hour Window: Maximize free-form messaging
  3. SMS Segmentation: Optimize message length to reduce multi-part costs
  4. Delivery Monitoring: Track delivery rates to avoid wasted sends

Team Collaboration

  1. Slack Free Tier: Start with free plan for internal teams
  2. Discord for Communities: Use completely free Discord API
  3. Webhook Optimization: Use webhooks (not polling) to minimize requests
  4. Event Filtering: Subscribe only to necessary events

⚠️ Risk Mitigation

Vendor Lock-In

  • Multi-Provider Strategy: Implement at least 2 providers for critical services
  • Abstraction Layer: Build internal APIs abstracting provider implementations
  • Data Portability: Maintain local copies of call records, logs, templates

Service Outages

  • Redundancy: Configure automatic failover between providers
  • Health Checks: Monitor provider API health and switch proactively
  • Circuit Breakers: Halt traffic to failing providers
  • Status Monitoring: Subscribe to provider status pages

Rate Limit Exhaustion

  • Early Warning: Alert at 80% rate limit consumption
  • Capacity Planning: Request limit increases 2 weeks before need
  • Graceful Degradation: Queue non-critical requests during peak load
  • Alternative Providers: Route overflow to secondary providers

Security Incidents

  • Incident Response Plan: Document steps for API key compromise
  • Immediate Revocation: Ability to revoke keys within 5 minutes
  • Token Rotation: Regular rotation even without compromise
  • Penetration Testing: Annual security audits of webhook endpoints
