We help technology companies to manage their webhook infrastructure, guaranteeing reliability, security and observability so as to enable companies focus on their core competitive advantages of building products their customers love. Webhooks are a special form of HTTP request where the sender wants to pass some crucial information to the receiver so that the receiver can act on it. Webhooks play a critical role in event-driven architectures where information has to be passed in real-time where one server doesn’t trust another server. We are a team of principled and passionate engineers who have themselves had to rely on webhooks and we want this to be a solved problem for technology companies. Show less
