Debugging localhost webhooks shouldn’t be a guessing game. Hookdeck CLI v1.1.0 adds: 🔹 Session Filters – isolate event types 🔹 Interactive Mode – inspect & replay from your terminal Full demo below ↓

🚀 Outpost now streams events to GCP Pub/Sub For API builders → simplify setup For API consumers → skip HTTP ingestion Send events from your API platform to Pub/Sub - durable, scalable, and process-ready. 🔗 github.com/hookdeck/ou... #Outpost #GCP #EventDestinations #APIs #EventDriven

📊 New: Prometheus metrics export in Hookdeck Monitor your webhook infra in the same stack as your services: • Request rates, delivery attempts, queue depth • Latency + failure rates • Rich labels (team, org, source, destination) • Pre-built @grafana dashboard

New in Hookdeck Event Gateway: event cancellations. Webhook delivery offers no control after events are sent. Hookdeck adds queue-level features: retries, delays, pauses, and cancellations. Cancel events before delivery, filter conditions, and retry later. 📖 RTM → hookdeck.com/docs/cancel...

August 2025 Hookdeck product updates: - Webhook deduplication reduces processing overhead - Free metrics provide full observability - MS Teams alerts for real-time notifications - Outpost v0.5.0 adds Amazon S3 event destination support

🛠️ Shopify app builders: shipping multiple apps with the same webhooks? Problem: - You built inventory, fulfillment, and analytics apps - A merchant installs all three - An 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀/𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 event comes in three times - once per app - That’s triple the webhook traffic and processing overhead

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐤: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 We’ve added a changelog directly to the Hookdeck dashboard sidebar.. ✅ Updates on new features, fixes, and improvements ✅ Context right where you work — no more switching tabs ✅ A clear record of what’s shipped, week by week

Hookdeck Metrics are now free on all plans. No more gating. You get full delivery, throughput, and retry visibility from day one. A few nice UX improvements too 👇 🔗 hookdeck.com/blog/metric...

🚢 July at Hookdeck: - v4 Dashboard: faster, clearer - Smarter routing: set transform/filter order - Outpost 0.4.0: Azure Service Bus destination type support - Stripe collab: rate-limit-friendly webhooks + meetups - New Sources: OpenAI, LinkedIn, DocuSign Full update → hookdeck.com/blog/hookde...

🚢 Outpost 0.4.0 released Outpost is our open source, self-hosted event delivery service. It gives you full control over how events are delivered as webhooks and directly to queues, with retries, delivery logs, and multi-tenant routing built in.

The Hookdeck Event Gateway allows full control over transformation and filter order in your event pipeline. Options include: → Filter or transform first → Cleanup data pre-delivery → Deliver only essential data Available via dashboard UI and API.

Webhooks are not a trivial problem at scale. When you're processing thousands of events per second, your strategy matters. Webhooks are usually delivered at-least-once. Assume duplicates and out-of-order events are the norm, not the exception.

Event-Driven Architecture: Beyond the Basics Choosing the right infrastructure for event-driven systems is a strategic move that can define your application's performance, scalability, and responsiveness.

Our new dashboard v4 is a serious upgrade. It's a fundamental rebuild for clarity and speed. We tackled the core challenge of making event metrics instantly readable.

💡 Ever wondered how to manage complex event streams without cluttering your application code? Event filtering and routing is your secret sauce.

📊 We analyzed the highest-volume webhook sources flowing into the Hookdeck Event Gateway. Here are the top 10 API platforms by webhook event volume...

🎓 Paddle used to treat Black Friday as a webhook stress test. Now that same volume is just… a regular day.

Scaling Webhook Ingestion: How Harvust Handled Twilio Webhook Spikes Handling high-volume Twilio message status webhooks requires more than just code; it necessitates thoughtful infrastructure choices.

Scaling Event Infrastructure: A Look Inside Churnkey’s Webhook Architecture As SaaS platforms move from startup to scale-up, webhook infrastructure often becomes a bottleneck. At Churnkey, growing event volume exposed the limits of their initial setup and forced a rethink of their architecture.

Ever feel like Kafka is complex overkill for your event architecture? You're not alone. Not every project needs the full heavyweight infrastructure.

Webhook Delivery: Managing Delivery Failure Every software system encounters transient failures. The difference between good and great integrations is how you handle those moments.

🧰 Paddle gives SaaS businesses everything they need to handle payments, subscriptions, and compliance globally.

Ever had a webhook fail because the payload format wasn’t quite right? Some platforms force application/json. Others send x-www-form-urlencoded. Your queue, API, or processing logic might expect something different.

Async AI isn't just about background execution; it’s about building resilient, observable, and interoperable systems. When evaluating async AI platforms, consider: Durability and observability: Can you trust it to handle errors, retries, and system restarts?

Outbound webhook infrastructure is complex. Building reliable event delivery systems requires solving complex engineering problems, such as retry logic, fault tolerance, and observability.

When your application receives webhooks from multiple services, data inconsistency becomes a silent complexity killer. The fan-in pattern transforms this challenge into an elegant solution.

Webhooks are everywhere — but they're fragile and inconsistent. I spoke with @leggetter.co.uk from @hookdeck.com about Event Destinations, a new initiative to modernize event delivery. More on @nordicapis.bsky.social. nordicapis.com/event-destin...

Outpost v0.2.0 is here! - Publish response now includes event ID; status changed from 200 → 202 (breaking) - Tenant responses updated for 200 or 201 - No need for destination config on Hookdeck creation - New Go, TypeScript, Python SDKs - New SDK docs and examples

Should your webhook infrastructure throttle outbound traffic, or is that the job of the downstream consumer? The Hookdeck Event Gateway throttles outbound traffic. However, Outpost transfers backpressure handling to durable, scalable message queues and consumers. What is the right philosophy?

Creating scalable, reliable outbound webhook infrastructure is tough. We're launching interviews with senior engineers to explore their strategies. First up: Michael Woodward from paddle.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r1...

Thrilled to team up with @speakeasy.com to roll out Go, Python, and TypeScript SDKs for Outpost. Plus, the TypeScript SDK comes with an MCP server!

⭐ Outpost is nearly at 500 stars!
