The Svix server is fully open source under the MIT license.
Star us on GithubThere are multiple ways to get the Svix server up running. Docker is probably the most common, and you can use the official Svix Docker image from Docker Hub. We also have pre-compiled binaries here.

Designed for developers
Our simple yet powerful webhook API provides you with everything you need to offer a world-class webhook experience.
const svix = new Svix("sk_IrlFPEh3VYctuyHhKTCxamGV");
// Send an event to Rock Inc's webhook endpoints
await svix.message.create("rock_inc_uid", {
eventType: "user.created",
payload: {
username: "new_user",
email: "new_user@example.com",
},
});Webhooks are harder than they seem...

Support & Community
Svix had a level of product maturity and a brand that we were very comfortable with putting in front of our customers. Brex customers have a certain expectation of us, and we need partners that can deliver at that level.
Svix's platform is reliable, fast, and makes our lives easier by handling the complexities of webhooks, allowing us to deliver a better experience for our users.
Adding Svix to the mix was definitely the right decision for us. In addition to happy customers, our engineers have their evenings back.
Svix's well-designed API and libraries enabled us to offer webhooks in a fraction of the time it would have taken us otherwise. Additionally, the responsiveness and feedback-friendly nature of the Svix team added immense value.
At my previous company (WorkOS) we had to build a lot of infrastructure internally to support webhooks. It was very complex, hard to maintain, so when I started Resend I already knew we didn't want to build webhooks ourselves.

We are extremely happy with Svix! It has helped us launch webhooks for our customers extremely quickly, the infrastructure is reliable, and it has saved us countless engineering hours.
I very much appreciate how much time Svix saved us. We were able to get a webhooks MVP out in less than a day.
This is by far one of the best products I've ever worked with. It does one thing but it does it so well that I can't imagine ever doing my own webhooks solution.
Svix saved us a lot of work. Instead of trying to implement a custom webhooks service, I only had to write about 10 lines of code.
Webhooks were a struggle for us, and it's great that we no longer have to care about them.
I literally have not thought about webhooks for months. It's kind of magical actually. You have built an enormously stable, reliable, and predictable service.
Thanks to Svix, we've reduced our AWS consumption for our APIs by 30 times. The impact on our infrastructure is significant, and the ROI was immediate, taking less than six months.
FAQs
What is webhooks as a service?
Webhooks as a service refers to Svix's software as a service (SaaS) webhook platform. We've built a user interface for managing your users' webhook subscriptions as well as an API that simplifies the process of implementing webhook best practices at scale.
Why webhooks as a service?
Let your valuable engineering resources work on solving problems unique to your product. Leverage Svix for your webhook infrastructure to ensure deliverability, reliability, security, and scalability.
What is a webhook service?
A webhook service is similar to 'webhooks as a service' above, but also encompasses scenarios where the service is hosted by the service directly, rather than using the Svix WaaS offering. For example, a self-hosted instance of the Svix open source webhooks server would be considered a webhooks service.
Are your webhooks secure?
Yes! Our webhook service was designed for security from the ground up. We follow industry best practices, encrypt all data both in transit and at rest, and are compliant with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA and more.
Can you handle our scale?
We process billions of webhooks a year for our customers, and we power webhooks for top companies like Brex and Lob. We can most likely handle your scale, but please reach out if you have any specific questions or requirements.
Do you offer SLAs?
We offer uptime SLAs of 99.999% for our enterprise customers, 99.99% for our business tier customers, and 99.9% for our startup tier users.
