Hookdeck
From webhooks to external event streams, Hookdeck ensures every event is received, processed, and monitored reliably at scale, giving you complete visibility and control.
About the product
Ensure Reliable Event Delivery & Full Visibility
You've invested time and resources in building webhook integrations, but unreliable deliveries and system overloads are causing data loss. When events fail, you lack visibility into what went wrong, leading to frustrated customers and costly debugging sessions. Your developers are spending too much time building custom retry logic and monitoring systems instead of focusing on your core product.
What is Hookdeck
Hookdeck is an Event Gateway that ensures reliable delivery of webhooks and events between your services. It acts as a managed infrastructure layer that receives, queues, processes, and monitors all your event traffic with built-in reliability features. Instead of building complex webhook handling systems from scratch, Hookdeck provides a centralized platform for managing the entire event lifecycle, complete with retry logic, error handling, filtering, and real-time monitoring dashboards that give you total visibility and control.
Key Capabilities
Centralized Webhook Management : Consolidate all incoming and outgoing webhooks in one dashboard, gaining complete visibility into event flows and eliminating the need for custom infrastructure.
Automatic Retry & Queuing : Prevent data loss during traffic spikes with built-in queuing and configurable retry policies that ensure every event is eventually delivered, even after failures.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerting : Instantly identify failed events and delivery issues with comprehensive dashboards that show the status, history, and performance of every webhook processed.
Event Replay & Error Recovery : Troubleshoot faster by replaying any past webhook for debugging or recovery, eliminating the need to wait for the sender to retrigger events after fixes.
Flexible Routing & Filtering : Direct events to different destinations based on payload content or headers, allowing you to process events efficiently and build sophisticated workflows.
Perfect For
An e-commerce platform was missing critical payment webhooks during traffic spikes, causing order fulfillment delays. After implementing Hookdeck, they gained reliable webhook delivery with automatic retries, plus the ability to replay missed events. Customer complaints about missing orders dropped by 90%.
A SaaS integration team was struggling with webhook reliability across multiple third-party services. By routing all webhooks through Hookdeck, they gained a unified dashboard for monitoring and troubleshooting. Development time for new integrations decreased by 40% as they no longer needed custom retry logic.
Worth Considering
Hookdeck focuses exclusively on webhook and event reliability rather than full workflow automation. If you need complex business logic or visual workflow building, you may need to pair it with additional tools. While the free Developer tier offers 10,000 monthly events, growing companies will need the Team tier (starting at $39/month) or Growth tier ($499/month) to access features like longer retention periods, unlimited users, and SLAs for mission-critical applications.
Also Consider
Amazon EventBridge: Better for AWS-centric organizations needing broader event orchestration capabilities, though requires more setup and integration work.
Zapier: Ideal when you need no-code workflow automation with a visual builder, though less specialized for webhook reliability and large-scale event processing.
Upstash QStash: Consider for simpler message queueing needs with less focus on monitoring and debugging capabilities offered by Hookdeck.
Bottom Line
Hookdeck solves the challenging infrastructure problems of webhook and event delivery that most teams struggle to build themselves. By providing a reliable, observable event gateway with built-in queueing, retry logic, and troubleshooting tools, it eliminates data loss and gives teams complete control over their event flows without the overhead of building custom infrastructure.
