Description

Currently when a request sent by the webhook notifier to the registered webhook server URL fails, we log an error and continue with the processing. We should add a configurable retry strategy to ensure the events are retried in case of temporary server unavailability / transient errors to ensure at least once delivery.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the webhook notifier implementation and add a retry mechanism with exponential backoff and configurable max retries.
