Some do; Gitlab, Otka, and Pipedrive come to mind. I think this is more about the expectations set over the last decade. If you do things differently, there's a need to justify it,…

I expect to have to answer that question a lot! Hookdeck is an event gateway, an unopinionated event log/message bus that operates over HTTP. It can be used to send webhooks, but 8…

Hey HN, we're launching Outpost, an open-source, self-hostable component designed to handle outbound event delivery for SaaS/API platforms. If you're building a platform, you event…

From most watch market positioning I'd assume this to be true. However for me it's the exact opposite, the watch is a tool to cut phone use. All I care about is LTE and the minimum…

Been looking for something like this! Doc search just hasn't kept up with what's possible now and is such a hassle to get the indexing to work properly. Will try it out!

The push queue model has major benefits has you mentioned. We've built Hookdeck (hookdeck.com) on that premise. I hope we see more projects adopt it.

YAML is just as effective at communicating data structure to the model while using ~50% less tokens. I now convert all my JSON to YAML before feeding it to GPT API's

PH takes much more work and strategy but "success" is somewhat deterministic if you did your homework. In our case we saw similar uptake, signups and conversion then ~20h on HN fro…

That's right. In the context of pushed events, you have very little margin for error. It's definitely "solvable," but a bit part of the problem is that for most tech teams, it's no…

I'm all for /events and appreciate the platforms with good support. However, we live in a world where people build event-driven and serverless architecture. The use cases go beyond…

Exactly, 6% of GPD is shockingly low cost to pay for net 0 annual growth in CO2. Now that doesn't mean you can practically deploy that capital but it makes me more bullish on carbo…

Sweet! For payment and billing related webhooks, the total count of events tends to be relatively low. I can't help with an estimate per se without more context, but the team plans…

I'm not familiar with Rundeck, but a quick google search makes me think it's a very different tool. Technical teams use Hookdeck to receive webhooks reliably. However, Hookdeck its…
