The Central Nervous System: Scaling the Agentic Radar to 24/7 with FastAPI and Webhooks

A local Python obsolescence-analysis script was redesigned into a centralized FastAPI service for always-on supply-chain alerts.

The system normalizes commercial API feeds and legacy email notices into HTTPS webhook requests for a single ingestion path.

FastAPI handles requests quickly with HTTP 202 responses, while background tasks run CrewAI/LLM analysis asynchronously.

This makes the pipeline production-ready, scalable, and able to process both modern webhooks and inbound email alerts without timing out.
