python-ksuid VS convoy

Homepage: https://www.svix.com

It's really fast, it makes writing secure and correct code easier, it's easier to deploy and distribute (one static binary), and it's a lot more fun. :)

Webhooks are really cool, and I absolutely love what they enable. They make the web compose-able, interconnected, and enable people to automate a lot of their work! Our goal is to make them easy, reliable, and consistent, so that more services offer them and they are easier to consume.

I'd love to hear your feedback! We've incorporated most of the comments we got the last time[0] (thanks again everyone!), and we would love to know how we can improve the product further. Got any suggestions?

I wasn't going to post it here because it feels a bit small for a show HN, but then I figured: why not. :)

It's a pure Rust implementation of Segement's KSUID, and I created this library while working on Svix[0].

I haven't written any Rust for a while, so even though I have written quite a bit of Rust code in the past (see Etebase[1]), I'm a bit rusty (no pun intended).

Anyhow, I just wanted to share, and I'm hoping to get some feedback if you have any. :)

P.S, the package is tested for compatibility against the reference Go implementation.

I created this library while working on Svix. We have a highly scalable and distributed environment there, which is where KSUIDs really shine.

These reasons are exactly why we started Svix[1] (we do webhooks as a service). I wish we existed to serve you guys back when you started working on it. :)

Hey everyone, my name is Tom, and I'm the founder of Svix (https://www.svix.com) - previously known as Diahook. Svix makes it easy for developers to send webhooks from their service using a simple API. Think Twilio or SendGrid but for webhooks.

Webhooks are how servers notify each other of events, so they are a key component of many APIs such as Stripe, Shopify, Slack, Dropbox and Github.

Yup. Even DigitalOcean still doesn't have webhooks despite several user requests see here [0]

My business is building a Webhooks Gateway for delivering webhooks at scale - Convoy [1]. We use Convoy Cloud to power Nohooks. The goal is to show what's possible with Convoy so more providers can easily provide webhooks.

Speaking with platform engineers at events, in various online communities and even within the Convoy community validated the notion that managing webhooks in production is not always easy and can require a lot of effort. Platform engineers believe strongly in frictionless self-service developer experience, and solving for efficiency to quickly provide business value. Let’s take a look at why some haven't adopted a webhooks gateway such as Convoy to manage webhook events and integrations yet and what we are doing to change that.

If you feel like this article helped you understand Webhooks better! I would be super happy if you could give us a star! And let me also know in the comments ❤️ https://github.com/frain-dev/convoy

This is precisely what Convoy does. See here: https://github.com/frain-dev/convoy. If you have any questions, the team is reachable on Slack here.

My initial reaction would be to use a self-hosted webhook relay (e.g. Convoy) that will queue / retry until my internet is back online. However, I'm a bit hesitant to throw a large dependency in the mix in the name of reliability. My other thought I had was setting up some form of load balancer, that will initially attempt to be a passthrough straight to Discord, and only if that fails, then get a queue / retry software involved?
