hookdeck-cli VS Stripe

As per the title of this post, the Hookdeck CLI is built to support asynchronous web development. By this, I mean requests, such as webhooks from an API service, are received and proxied onto the application running locally. However, the response from the local service is not passed back to the API service that made the request.

Hookdeck is an infrastructure to consume webhooks simply & reliably. Incoming webhooks are challenging because they require a well-built (and often complex) asynchronous system. We help developers spend less building and troubleshooting issues with their webhooks to focus on their products instead. We offer a complete infrastructure to develop, test, receive, distribute and monitor webhooks and asynchronous events.

If you are looking to be part of a early stage team, fully leverage your knowledge & talent, have an impact on the product experience and implement features from scratch then this might be for you!

We are offering competitive compensation, generous stock options and liberty over your geo & schedule.

We are looking forward to hearing from you! Email me at [email protected]

Shameless plug: if you like the development experience of webhooks at Stripe we offer the same experience on our platform at https://hookdeck.com/ which you can drop in to help you add reliability and a better developer experience to receiving webhooks from anywhere.

This is a fantastic resource! Thank you to the folks at ngrok for putting this together! As this site makes clear: webhooks are harder than they appear. Even just consuming webhooks it's easy to get bogged down dealing with issues around rate limits or recovering from bugs that cause missed events! Missed events being particularly painful with platforms that don't offer replay / retry.

Disclaimer: I work at https://hookdeck.com/ & I shamelessly plug our tool for giving you an awesome developer experience working with webhooks and helping deal with some of the concerns brought up on webhooks.fyi.

And if you are interested in webhooks at large a couple more resources worth checking out is the awesome-webhooks[1] list and the r/webhooks[2] subreddit (I just got ownership of the sub and started dusting it off this week after being neglected for the past few years! Please, come join!)

and then went throught the codebase: https://github.com/hookdeck/hookdeck-cli

Sorry to disappoint, but Stripe is not an open source project, nor is it a major release. The reason it's here is because Stripe just shipped a bunch of updates for their open source projects. Someone must have been doing some spring cleaning 🧹 - or is it fall cleaning in the Northern Hemisphere 🤔? Whatever is it, Stripe have a tonne of new updates for you including Stripe .NET 47.0, Stripe Node 17.0, Stripe PHP 16.0, Stripe Ruby 13.0, and Stripe Python 11.0. Each of these is a library for accessing Stripe's API from applications written in .NET, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and Python respectively. These are all updates based on changes to the Stripe API and SDK. Click on each one to check out their breaking changes.

First let's introduce the tool: Sorbet is a gem developed by Stripe that aims to bring type notation syntax and type checking support for the Ruby ecosystem by utilizing the "Gradual typing" philosophy, it also provide type generation from YARD comments via the tapioca gem, allowing to grow alongside the already built Ruby codebase.

The problem is stripe.com charges 4.6% total in fees. Wise charges 1.89%.

For me Stripe is the peak for a product/company website:

https://stripe.com/

I heard some people admire https://linear.app/ but I don't see the appeal myself

Majority of websites often fall into one of two categories:

1. Traditional off the shelf template

2. Look cool but fail when it comes to usability and robustness (those featured on awwwards)

You could have the best service in the world, but if you have a payment gateway that leaves people feeling uncomfortable, you'll lose them. Not only that, but you have PCI compliance you would need to deal with and a slew of other things that are handled for you with a payment vendor like Stripe, Square, or PayPal.

Your payment and data is processed safely through Stripe. We are verified and also accept Paypal.

First you'll want to go to Stripe's website and setup an account. Then install Stripe with pip install stripe. In this example I'm using Flask for the backend and React for the frontend. The website is an e-commerce page for buying and selling skateboards. Now create some models for the product to sell and the receipts then run flask db init, flask db migrate, and flask db upgrade to create the database. My models look like so:

Kick uses a Payment Processor called Stripe

I did that with Vue and Laravel a few times. If you need Stripe data linked to a user account your best bet is Laravel Cashier. Otherwise you'll have to use the PHP SDK.

stripe allows issuing cards, similar to how cash app, Venmo and other payment platforms issues cards to users. I’ve personally never issued a card but the documentation is there and should be simple!
