Description

We would like to be able to trigger a Lambda Function on an Kinto update event.

The goal would be to be able to configure a URL that will be notified each time an event is sent.

A bit like you can integrate Github with other services. Here our main goal would be to trigger the kinto-blockpage-generator lambda each time we publish in the kinto/blocklists bucket.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing Kinto plugin architecture, particularly how plugins listen to events (e.g., kinto signer). Implement a new plugin that accepts a webhook URL configuration and sends a POST request with event data on each update.
