Adding Svix to the mix was definitely the right decision for us. In addition to happy customers, our engineers have their evenings back.

Martin / Software Engineer, Lob
LTSE Equity
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!
Patrick Johnmeyer / Staff Software Engineer, LTSE Equity
Lithic
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.
Kamil / Head of Engineering, Lithic
Bizzabo
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.
Greg / Senior Engineer Manager, Bizzabo
Clerk.dev
I very much appreciate how much time Svix saved us. We were able to get a webhooks MVP out in less than a day.
Braden / CTO, Clerk.dev
Bonfire
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.
Brandon / Developer, Bonfire
Acolad Group
Webhooks were a struggle for us, and it's great that we no longer have to care about them.
Gauthier / Lead Developer, Acolad Group
Hyper
Svix gives our users a Stripe-level webhook experience, and it took us under five minutes to setup. This is a no-brainer.
Ben / CEO, Hyper
Instruqt
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.
Matthisk / Tech-lead, Instruqt
Kitemaker
Developers expect a certain level of deliverability and developer experience when it comes to webhooks, and I’m far too busy to provide it.
Kevin / CTO, Kitemaker

Running the Server

There 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. For more info, check out the README.

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.

FAQs

What is open source webhooks as a service?

Open source webhooks as a service makes it easy for developers to send webhooks. Developers make one API call, and Svix takes care of deliverability, retries, security, and more.

Can you handle our scale?

We handle a very large number of webhooks in our SaaS version, and with the right supporting infrastructure, the self-hosted version should be able to do the same. Just make sure to have a large enough database to support your load.

Do you offer SLAs?

Yes we do, as part of our enterprise tier. Please contact us for more information.
