Flexport Deploy Integration

Overview

Deploy Flexport-powered applications to production. Webhook receivers need always-on hosting. Dashboards can use serverless. Background sync workers suit containers.

Prerequisites

• A deployment owner, approved logistics-data destinations, scoped secret-manager references, and tested rollback path.
• A staging environment with fictional shipments and a policy that excludes commercial documents from logs and health checks.

Output

Record the release/image identifier, environment, integration owner, approved destinations, canary result, aggregate health metrics, and rollback outcome. Do not include credentials, bills of lading, addresses, invoices, or shipment payloads.

Error Handling

• Stop promotion on signature, permission, destination, or idempotency failures.
• Pause workers and rotate scoped credentials when an exposure is suspected.
• Preserve only redacted incident evidence and use the rollback path before replaying events.

Examples

Deploy a staging receiver with a fictional shipment event, verify the signature and opaque event ID, then simulate an upstream failure. The service must return a generic health result, avoid logging the payload, and roll back the canary before production sync is enabled.

Instructions

Option A: Vercel (Dashboard + Webhook Routes)

// app/api/webhooks/flexport/route.ts (Next.js App Router)
import crypto from 'crypto';

export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const body = await req.text();
  const sig = req.headers.get('x-hub-signature') || '';
  const expected = 'sha256=' + crypto.createHmac('sha256', process.env.FLEXPORT_WEBHOOK_SECRET!)
    .update(body).digest('hex');
  if (!crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(sig), Buffer.from(expected))) {
    return new Response('Invalid signature', { status: 401 });
  }
  const event = JSON.parse(body);
  // Process milestone, booking, invoice events
  return new Response('OK');
}

Option B: Fly.io (Always-On Webhook Receiver)

# fly.toml
app = "flexport-webhooks"
primary_region = "iad"
[http_service]
  internal_port = 3000
  force_https = true
  min_machines_running = 1

fly secrets set FLEXPORT_API_KEY="key" FLEXPORT_WEBHOOK_SECRET="secret"
fly deploy

Option C: Cloud Run (Shipment Sync Worker)

gcloud run deploy flexport-sync \
  --source . --region us-central1 \
  --set-secrets "FLEXPORT_API_KEY=flexport-key:latest" \
  --min-instances 1 --timeout 300

Post-Deploy Verification

curl -X POST https://your-app.fly.dev/webhooks/flexport \
  -H "X-Hub-Signature: sha256=invalid" -d '{"type":"test"}'
# Expected: 401 (signature verification working)
