Once again, I'm a big fan of this idea. I wish this service existed 4 years ago when I built my own. Lots of time has been spent there. Probably bad timing, but I actually *just* finished a blog post on how I built my webhook system and posted it to HN [0]. I gave Svix a shout out. :)
Anyways -- I think really nailing API uptime is going to be critical for a service like this, to reduce the chance of having to do queuing on the customer's end to replay failed requests to Svix. That's one of my big concerns at first glance. Some of the webhooks I send are table-stakes for many customers.

- tasn 5y agoHehe, perfect timing with your post, and thanks for the shutout! :) Yeah, API uptime is crucial (and we spend a lot of time on just that). Though I think it's not just for us, but rather for almost all of the external APIs and services out there!
