Hi, is it possible to host a web-hook endpoint in a Cognite function?
And is it a good idea?

    Hello Czach! 

    When you say “host a web-hook endpoint”, do you mean spinning up an API endpoint in the Cognite Function, for instance using Flask or FastAPI? Can you help me understand your specific use case? 

    You won’t be able to keep this server alive, as each Cognite Function invocation has a specific execution time limit.
