In their own words
Hookdeck
Hookdeck provides infrastructure for receiving, managing, and delivering webhooks and other external events. Its Event Gateway ingests and queues incoming events, then can transform and deliver them with controls for signature checks, conditional routing, retries, logs, alerts, tracing, and replay. Outpost adds event delivery for APIs, SaaS, and PaaS products, with managed and self-hosted options. Listed destinations include webhooks, Amazon SQS, RabbitMQ, Google Pub/Sub, AWS EventBridge, Apache Kafka, and the Event Gateway. The CLI forwards webhook events to a local web server and can replay or inspect forwarded data. The Developer plan is free, with up to 10,000 events and three-day retention; the dashboard locks after that event limit until upgrade or the next billing period. Paid plans start at $39 a month. A 14-day trial for inviting team members is available, subject to Developer plan usage limits.
