Svix makes it easy for developers to send webhooks. Developers make one API call, and Svix takes care of deliverability, retries, security, and more.
We reliably deliver billions of webhooks a year for companies such as

For information on configuring and self-hosting the server, please refer to the README.
Adding Svix to the mix was definitely the right decision for us. In addition to happy customers, our engineers have their evenings back.
Svix has been absolutely rock solid for us. Their dashboards are clear and straightforward. But the killer feature is “Svix Play”, which makes testing and debugging a breeze — even in your local dev environment!
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.
I very much appreciate how much time Svix saved us. We were able to get a webhooks MVP out in less than a day.
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.
Thanks to Svix we delivered a superior webhook experience, in a fraction of the time. Using their simple API we went from MVP to production in a matter of days.

Open Source vs. Svix Hosted
The Svix hosted service and the open source project are API compatible, and you can use the same libraries with either. There are, however, a few differences between the open source version and the hosted service.
We have reduced a lot of the complexity and infrastructure required to run the Svix hosted service. While this complexity is needed for the scale the Svix hosted service deals with, it's not useful for the vast majority of people and it would have made this project much harder to deploy, and thus to use.
