How long lived is jovo endpoint?

#1

Hi. i am developing alexa skills with jovo. if i decide to keep jovo webhook as my enpoint for alexa skill for a long time, i want to ask you how long lived is jovo webhook and if it changes after some time?

#2

Do you mean the ID? This is saved to a local file on your computer, so shouldn’t change

#3

i mean " This is your webhook url: https://webhook.jovo.cloud/******************************" which is also enpoint of alexa skill

:zap: The Jovo webhook does have indefinitely long lifespan, BUT…:zap:

:stop_sign: PLEASE DON’T USE THE WEBHOOK FOR LIVE SKILLS :stop_sign:

One reason is that it’s not designed to handle a high amount of concurrency (i.e. requests coming in while other requests are just being processed), but more importantly it doesn’t verify the platforms’ authorization headers (by design!), which will cause it to fail certification. If you want to run Jovo on a self-hosted production server, you can find the instructions here.

Hope this helps! :smiley:
