To handle a higher volume of webhook traffic for a large app in production, consider using asynchronous webhook handling on a dedicated server. You can achieve this by employing a queue, where the webhook handler pushes data to the queue, and separate processes perform subsequent actions based on the events. Additionally, you can use cloud functions such as [Azure Functions](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/functions/), [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/), or [Hookdeck](https://hookdeck.com) to help scale the app for handling large volumes of webhook events.
