Shameless plug but I've built https://hookdeck.com https://hookdeck.com precisely to tackle some of these problems. It generally falls onto the consumer to build the necessary tools to process webhooks reliably. I'm trying to give everyone the opportunity to be the "best customers" as you are describing them. Stripe is big inspiration for the work.

Do you provide the ability to consume, translate then forward? I am after a ubiquitous endpoint i can point webhooks at and then translate to the schema of another service and send on. You could then share these 'recipes' and allow customers to reuse well known transforms.

  Transformations is something we haven't built yet but we have our eyes on it as your are not the first one to bring that up. You can use Hookdeck in front of lamda and to the transformation there, you'd still get the benefit of async processing, retries, etc

    Do you have an idea of when hookdeck will have transformations. It's not something we need immediately but would be the win over something like: https://webhookrelay.com/ https://webhookrelay.com/ if it's something you have on your roadmap for sometime soon.

      My app, hookrelay.dev, has transformations today. :)

  This is a fairly common use of no-code glue services like Zapier, IFTTT, Cyclr, etc.

  You can do this with BenkoBot, we just launched custom webhooks (although it's not in the interface yet). So you can receive a webhook and run some arbitrary javascript to transform it then send it on somewhere else: http://www.benkobot.com/ http://www.benkobot.com/ Our main focus is on handling Trello notifications, and the Trellinator library I wrote is built in, our objective is to create more API wrappers over time to make it as simple as possible to deal with as many APIs as possible. You can see some example code here: https://trello.com/b/IoHmhz5c/benkobot-community-board https://trello.com/b/IoHmhz5c/benkobot-community-board You currently require a Trello account API key/token to sign up, but you can use it as you described to be a generic endpoint, transform however you want with JS then post the data onto another endpoint.
