webhooks.fyi VS hookdeck-cli

Very cool article.

I'm one of the creators of https://webhooks.fyi/ and will do a PR to add this one. Thanks!

On the contrary, I like the name. :) And while you might have something that works for your company, it most likely won't meet many other companies needs. You can check webhooks.fyi[0] by Ngrok for the various implementations and edge cases.

Hello all! I'm one of the creators of webhooks.fyi over at ngrok.

Happy to answer any questions!

First, yes it's ridiculously hard to build webhooks correctly. There are so many shortcuts that feel "okay" and you don't really think about until you realize that it didn't quite work as you had planned and now you have a gap. We're hoping the site can help people move more of that thinking earlier and make better decisions.

Second, we're missing a bunch of webhooks! While we looked at 100+ in our own research, we only had time to add ~50 to this initial pass. If you'd like to add your favorites, pull requests welcome: https://github.com/ngrok/webhooks.fyi

Hookdeck (https://hookdeck.com) | Product Eng, Growth Eng, Backend Eng | Full-Time | Remote (World)

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

Might I recommend Hookdeck as well?

Very very useful for handling webhooks and making working with them including locally a pleasure.
