I will not know that. but once I know that the contents of the POST looks OK I want to reply... anything that happens after that (database problem or some other internal error) is "my fault" and not an issue relevant to the external server.
I just need to "sign for the package" before opening and examining all the contents. If an item is missing the messenger can't do anything about that. I still need to call whoever send the package to get that corrected. (feeble analogy, I know) There is no way I can keep the external server hanging while I possible look through >300'000 of rows of data, call other external systems or some other time-expensive task. When logs and data grow I can see it becoming a real problem very quickly. On day one I know we will have to assign these incoming calls to one of 380'000 users stored in our MySQL database.
