Webhooks Are Harder Than They Seem

What's this blog post about?

Webhooks are a simple concept but can become complex when scaling and maintaining them. Many implementations lack reliability, security measures, and proper developer experience. Key challenges include ensuring webhook delivery, managing server side request forgery (SSRF), handling scalability issues, maintaining quality of service (QoS), providing observability, and improving developer experience. Svix is an enterprise-ready webhooks sending service that addresses these challenges to build a secure, reliable, and scalable webhook platform in minutes.
