If you were to do it over again, would you have done it the same way? What would you have changed?


Idempotency keys are a simple enough concept, that I think that they're mostly okay as is (we could have done a few smarter things on the server side implementation, but luckily that can still be fixed).

There are certainly a few things around HTTP semantics that Stripe got wrong. e.g. Most updates should probably be `PATCH` instead of `POST`, but it's probably not worth changing at this point.
