Idempotency keys for APIs: stop duplicate orders, emails, and writes
When retries create duplicate side effects, idempotency keys are the only safe fix. This playbook shows how to design keys, store results, and prove duplicates cannot recur.

Use this when retries are creating duplicate orders, emails, or writes.

What you get
