Show HN: Hookdeck Event Gateway

Hey HN, I’m Maurice, co-founder and CTO at Hookdeck. You might remember Alex and me from August 4th, 2021, when we announced Hookdeck as a “webhook infrastructure”. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28063597 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28063597 Since then, a lot has happened. We’ve onboarded thousands of developers, and through their cleverness, we eventually realized that we could serve a much bigger purpose in your event-driven stack. Events are now essential to system interoperability since we spend just as much time building as integrating software nowadays, so we’ve dedicated the last six months to building an Event Gateway. Yeah, I know, that’s a new concept. So, let’s define it - The Event Gateway is a superset of our original work on webhooks management. It builds on that foundation to introduce support for more use cases, such as outbounds webhooks, integrating 3rd party providers, asynchronous APIs (IoT, SDKs, customer-facing endpoints), and more. It’s an API gateway for asynchronous, stateful, and interoperable requests. Hookdeck handles security (handshake and signature verification), spike protection, queuing, observability, alerting, logs, transformations, filtering, and much more. I wrote a blog post introducing the event gateway: https://hookdeck.com/blog/introducing-the-event-gateway https://hookdeck.com/blog/introducing-the-event-gateway I am eager to read your thoughts and feedback. Let’s find out what we can do better.
