SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Event Gateway provides a durable, managed webhook delivery layer that sits between providers and your application, eliminating the need to build and maintain your own queuing, retry, and observability infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Durable ingestion with guaranteed delivery and automatic retries
  • Rate limiting, replay, filtering, routing, and observability of webhook traffic
  • Local development and testing via a tunnel and CLI integration with provider webhooks

Quick Start

Install the Hookdeck CLI, start a local tunnel, and forward webhooks to your app. Use the generated public URL to receive real-time events during development and monitor deliveries via the Hookdeck dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions about hookdeck-event-gateway

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure reliable webhook delivery with automatic retries?▼

Reliable webhook delivery is achieved by routing provider events through a durable gateway that queues incoming traffic and automatically retries failed transmissions to your application.

What is the best way to test webhooks during local development?▼

Testing webhooks locally is done by starting a CLI tunnel that generates a public URL, allowing real-time provider events to be forwarded directly to your local application environment.

How do I manage rate limiting and routing for incoming webhooks?▼

Rate limiting and routing are managed by configuring rules within the gateway layer, which intercepts incoming webhook traffic to control request flow and direct events to the correct application endpoints.

Can I replay and filter webhook traffic without building custom infrastructure?▼

Yes, you can replay and filter webhook traffic without custom infrastructure by using a managed gateway that provides built-in observability and event manipulation tools via its dashboard.

Do I need a queuing service to handle guaranteed webhook ingestion?▼

You do not need a separate queuing service for guaranteed webhook ingestion because the event gateway acts as a durable managed layer that handles queuing and delivery between providers and your app.

When should I not use an event gateway for webhook processing?▼

An event gateway is not necessary when your application requires basic fire-and-forget webhooks without guaranteed delivery, retries, or strict rate limiting, as it adds an intermediary routing layer.
