Frequently Asked Questions
Is Svix Ingest a separate product or built on Dispatch?
Ingest shares the same infrastructure backbone as Dispatch — the same durable pipeline that's processed billions of webhooks in production. One platform, two directions, one proven foundation.
Why does Standard Webhooks matter for ingestion?
A growing share of webhook senders have adopted the Standard Webhooks specification — OpenAI, Render, Clerk, Resend, Zapier, Supabase, and many others. Svix authored the spec, so signature verification and event handling for those senders works natively.
Can I use Svix for both sending and receiving?
Yes. See Hookdeck Outpost vs. Svix Dispatch for the outbound comparison. Running one vendor for both simplifies procurement, security review, and on-call.
