Interesting that they seem to be trying to coin a new term here.
I like it a bit more than "webhook proxy" but I'm not sure calling it a gateway is the best fit, either.
- viclotana23 4y agoWell the technology does more things that a conventional proxy, I'd say it's a proxy with batteries Included. I love the gateway term and the great similarity to API gateways; very relatable.
- subomi 4y agoHey! Convoy Founder here. The way we think about it is API Gateways are the entry point to your API. Webhook Gateways are the exit point to the API. Hence the name. :)
- rtukpe 4y agoI think callling it a gateway might be slightly correct. For example an API gateway acts as a reverse proxy to accept all API calls whilst handling traffic authentication and authorization and even things like A/B testing capabilities. A webhooks proxy that supports both sending and receiving might be classified as a gateway.
