Destinations - Bunnylynk Docs

What is a Destination?

A Destination defines the target system that will receive the webhook dispatched by Bunnylynk. Destinations can be:

REST API endpoints on your backend application.
Serverless functions (AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel).
Internal microservices protected behind mutual TLS (mTLS) or private proxies.

Protecting Downstream Systems

Unlike standard HTTP forwards that dump incoming traffic directly onto your backend, Bunnylynk Destinations act as a protective buffer equipped with:

Rate Limiting: Cap the maximum requests delivered per second (e.g. 10 req/s) to prevent database connection exhaustion.
Concurrency Bounds: Limit the number of in-flight requests simultaneously active against your endpoint.
Configurable Timeouts: Define maximum socket wait times (e.g. 3000ms). Slow or hanging requests are aborted and scheduled for retries rather than holding connections open.

Destination Schema

`id`	`string`	Unique identifier (e.g. `dst_01JMVWXYZ`).
`name`	`string`	Descriptive label (e.g. "Inventory Service").
`url`	`string`	Absolute target URL (`http://` or `https://`).
`rate_limit_per_second`	`number`	Maximum requests delivered per second. Default: unlimited.
`max_concurrency`	`number`	Maximum simultaneous open HTTP connections. Default: 50.
`timeout_ms`	`number`	Request timeout before triggering a retry. Default: 5000ms.
