How to Detect Duplicate Events Before They Inflate Business Metrics

Retries and replayed messages can create duplicate events that inflate counts and revenue measures.

Checks to make

Define event identity and deduplication windows, compare producer and consumer IDs, and monitor duplicate rates by source. Make replay behavior explicit and preserve raw events so corrections can be audited and reproduced.
