What you described seems to me like webhooks. :) Webhooks aren't anything new really, Jeff Lindsay [0] coined them way back in 2007 while at Twilio but they aren't well understood and implemented today.

- Traubenfuchs 3y agoIf that's how it is, I really, really don't like the mysterious, badly defined word "webhook". My company offers a way to configure a default or overwrite-per-individual-process callback url for... at least 10 years now. It's the primary way for us to communicate our results to our direct customers and it's two database columns, packing some results in a JSON object, an SNS/SQS queue and executing a HTTP request. In any case, it's very primitive and nothing worth getting its own name and countless blog posts written about.
- subomi 3y agoOn the contrary, I like the name. :) And while you might have something that works for your company, it most likely won't meet many other companies needs.
