24 alternatives to Convoy Playground (For testing ingest and egress webhooks)

Hello Hacker News! We've been working on Convoy Playground [0], a tiny proxy and debugging tool which makes testing webhooks a breeze. If you've ever struggled with configuring or troubleshooting webhooks, we believe this tool will be a game changer for you. Convoy Playground provides a simple, intuitive, and powerful interface for testing, debugging and replaying webhooks. You can send HTTP requests to your specified endpoints, view and analyze the response in real-time, and even replay the requests as needed. The inspiration for this project came from the countless hours we've spent…

    Hey Friends, Convoy is an open-source webhooks gateway. Webhooks continue to be hard at scale, and large teams require consistent tooling for inbound & outbound webhooks. Convoy enables developers to securely send, receive and manage millions of webhooks reliably with features like retries, rate limiting, circuit breaking, customer-facing webhook logs, zero downtime secrets rotation and more. Since our initial launch [0], we've learned a lot about our users and made several important improvements we are excited to share: - We are now a webhooks gateway! Akin to API Gateways that sit at the…

    We build AI agents to find vulnerabilities in other AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own offensive agent Nyx. But we realised that hacking an AI is about have as wide a distribution of attacks as possible, especially those which aren't in the distribution of the models. So we are launching playground as a platform to crowdsource agent jailbreaks. And although hacking AI is super fun and we are sure people will do it for free, we want to reward those who help us push forward the offensive frontier of AI. So we are committing $100K in prizes over…

    Hello HN, We’d like to show you our project — Nohooks[0]. The aim is to add webhooks to platforms that do not natively support webhooks. We really believe many APIs can provide a better developer experience by providing webhook notifications to enable us to automate more things. Nohooks works by intelligently polling the integrated platform's APIs, determining if a change has occurred, and generating webhook events. Nohooks currently supports webhooks from Notion’s Databases, Render’s Services & Deployments, and DigitalOcean’s Droplets. We will add more in the coming days and improve the…

    HookBox▲120

    Debugging webhooks and transactional emails can be slow and usually requires multiple tools. I built HookBox to solve this problem, providing instant endpoints, temporary inboxes, real-time capture, and request replay so both can be tested in one place. Would love to hear your feedback! — Egret

    Hi HN! Last year, I built LocalCan app in which you can develop apps using .local domains and Public URLs. Although it allows for testing webhooks too, I wanted to give back and create a free online tool specifically for that purpose! And so, I've made Webhook.cool Simply use your unique webhook URL to send any webhook to it from services like Shopify, Slack, Mailchimp, Trello, GitHub, PayPal, Discord, and Jira. Give it a try and let me know how if you have any feedback.

    Inspired by Compiler Explorer and other playground/fiddle websites like jsfiddle, db-fiddle, Go playground, and Rust playground, I thought it would be cool to have a playground for nearly any program so I've been working on Program Explorer: a playground for running programs from containers. I am inspired by these playgrounds because they are great educational tools for quickly experimenting and as communication tools by sharing shortlinks that reproduce bugs for instance. I would love for every open source project that publishes a container to get their own playground for free. I'm…

    Hey HN. My name's Matteo and I'm currently a SWE @ Twilio. 1 day at stand-up the question came up if there was an open source solution to something like https://www.runscope.com. I found it super interesting that there was no artillery.io-like YAML/DSL solution out there. So I built one. Why i think this is cool: 1. Companies today run a ton of microservices for event-driven systems. Asserting on the ingress/egress out of a system might not be covered fully by HTTP. I've setup a plugin interface so that I can implement assertions on stuff like file buckets, DBs, queues,…
