Hookbridge
What it is
Hookbridge is a cloud service for software teams handling webhooks. It can send webhooks to customer endpoints, receive third-party events, or hold incoming events for workers to retrieve through an API. Its send API stores and queues a message, returns a message ID, and lets delivery continue outside the application’s request path. Outbound delivery retries use exponential backoff and jitter according to a configured schedule for retryable failures. Retained messages can be replayed from the console or API after successful or failed delivery. Security options include outbound HMAC-SHA256 signatures and inbound checks through configured HMAC signatures, static tokens, or IP allowlists. Developers can use an HTTP API or SDK examples for Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, and PHP. Tools include a CLI tunnel for local webhook reception, a GitHub Action for CI handler testing, and a browser request inspector that requires no account. The free plan allows 1,000 messages; paid plans start at $10 a month.
