Webhooks are amazing. They make it possible to connect different services and build code and no-code automations.
They are what powers Slack and Discord bots, Github CI plugins, the whole Stripe service, and much more. They are also what triggers workflows on no-code tools like Zapier, Workato and Tray.
Webhooks, however, are a pain to build. They require a lot of engineering time, resources and ongoing maintenance.
That's why I started Svix. To make it easy for everyone to build a state-of-the-art webhooks solution in minutes and unleash the power of webhooks without all of the pain involved.
These are some of the reasons why our customers use Svix:
Their customers were asking you for webhooks.
Their service offers an API and has an asynchronous element to it.
They wanted their customers to build integrations and automations on top of their product.
They were already considering adding webhooks capabilities to their service.
They were already sending webhooks but it had become a pain to maintain.
Their development team was wasting time on webhooks sending instead of business goals.
PagerDuty was waking their team up because of the webhooks subsystem.
