Getting a FastAPI api up and sending a received webhook to my Delta chat contact was an… experience.
Most annoying part was initializing the chat from my phone first and having an event loop solely to fetch messages so the E2E encryption happens properly.
Some of it might have been unnecessary, but there was so much trail an error involved… thread executor pool spun up in the FastAPI lifecycle… I wouldn’t call the result production ready :D
