Open-Source Webhooks Gateway for Platform Engineers

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…

In plain words

Convoy is an open-source webhooks gateway designed for platform engineers managing webhooks at scale. It enables teams to securely send, receive, and manage millions of webhooks with built-in features including retries, rate limiting, circuit breaking, customer-facing logs, and secrets rotation. The tool functions as a central hub for webhook traffic, similar to API gateways, handling both inbound webhooks from external services and outbound delivery to client endpoints across multiple providers.

    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…

    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…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
