Hi all,
We use ArcGIS Enterprise as a system of record for asset data and want to update data to another secondary system that needs this data too in a near real time way (must have <1 hour, and preferably <5 min). We are thinking of using feature service webhooks (insert/update/delete event triggers) or feature server change API to fetch inserts/updates/deletes every few minutes.
What are the (dis)advantages of using feature service webhooks over feature server change APIs?
Advantage feature service webhooks over feature server change APIs:
- Feature service webhooks triggers event instantly
- If using a webhook, the trigger endpoint for sending creates/updates/deletes from ArcGIS can also be triggered without ArcGIS (e.g. ArcGIS can be compared to secondary system on a weekly schedule, and then creates/updates/deletes can still be sent to trigger endpoint to get eventual consistency in case of errors. This is not easy via polling API to check for changes.)

Advantages feature server change APIs over feature service webhooks:
- Very stable
- Fetching feature server changes via API gives more options to filter out specific inserts/updates/deletes
- ...?
