Webhooks are harder than they seem...

Webhooks require a lot more engineering time, resources and ongoing maintenance than you would first expect. Building a secure, reliable, and scalable webhook service is hard and time consuming. We built it so you can focus on what matters most, your business.

Unreliable user endpoints: Customer endpoints fail or hang more often than you think. You need automatic retries to ensure deliverability.

Monitoring and reliability: You need to monitor the deliverability of your webhooks to different endpoints, disable failing ones and notify your customers.

Security implications: Webhooks come with a myriad of security implications, such as SSRF, replay attacks and unauthenticated webhook events.

Application Portal: You would need to build a UI for your users to add and remove endpoints, inspect logs and get ongoing reports.

Development experience: Offer your users a great developer experience, including the ability to test, inspect and replay their webhooks.

A whole lot more: You need to implement versioning, event types, and develop, maintain and scale an always running webhook delivery system.
