Hookdeck has released updates that include an alternative to ngrok, the Hookdeck CLI, which can be used as a tool for receiving webhooks in local development environments without requiring a Hookdeck account. The company has also improved its connection onboarding flow and added support for concurrent event delivery and new webhook verification features for services such as Vercel Log Drains, Tebex, and Slack. These updates aim to enhance the developer experience and provide more flexibility and capabilities for users.
