gcf-pubsub-webhook — High-Throughput HTTP-to-Google Cloud Pub/Sub Webhook Ingress

gcf-pubsub-webhook is a lightweight Google Cloud Function that receives third-party HTTP webhooks, verifies HMAC signatures, and publishes payloads to Cloud Pub/Sub topics. It decouples bursty webhook traffic from downstream workers to guarantee sub-20ms acknowledgement and zero dropped events.
