What does this MR do and why?

Related to #389348

The code changes introduce a new feature to handle web hook failures.

It introduces a backoff mechanism to prevent retrying requests too frequently when the web hook URL responds with a "too many requests" error. Additionally, it honors the Retry-After header in the 429 response when determining how long to wait before retrying.

These changes improve the reliability and efficiency of web hook event resending.
