Stripe webhook response times

When a customer pays, the following entry is stored into the database:

DB::table('subscriptions')->insert([
    'user_id' => $user->id,
    'quantity' => 1,
    'stripe_id' => $request->paymentIntent,
    'created_at' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
    'updated_at' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
]);

The record is saved successfully. When listening to the Stripe webhook payment_intent.succeeded I want to grab the paymentIntent Id from the webhook and find the record in my database:

$paymentInstance = DB::table('subscriptions')->where('stripe_id',$paymentIntent->id)->first();

The first call responds with null (echo $paymentInstance). When I hit resend in the Stripe dashboard, I get the desired result. How is this possible? The storing of the initial record has to be faster then the webhook reaching the server for the first time – or am I mistaken?
