Hi,

Are we using the same handler we publish data to DAS (AFAIU the events go
through CEP before publishing to DAS)?

If so I have a small doubt if we can cover the following scenario as the
synapse response handlers are executed before the outSequence of the API.

1. Backend returns an invalid payload with 200 OK
2. But at the gateway when sending it to the client it fails. May be its
trying to build the payload at the outSequence and fails.

Now actually the API has been failed to respond to the client but i'm
afraid it is tracked by our events sent to CEP.

Thanks,
Malintha
