Hi @magic yoke!
I'm trying to keep track of subscription invoices in our own platform database.
At the moment we are still in test mode and listening to the webhooks. I get invoice.created, invoice.updated, invoice.payment_succeeded and invoice.paid only a couple of ms apart.
Our code should create or update an invoice record on our local database on these hooks.

It came as almost same time, right?

Yes, and this is my problem: Since the create or update is async and it takes a couple of ms it creates a new local record.

Yeah unfortunately we can't guarantee the events order. It's a common ask. It’s possible that one request arrives before another one, even if they were created in the right order.
Normally we recommend you to handle this in the code gracefully, for example when receive an event, fetch the objects missing via the API
