Introduction

HookBridge is a webhook delivery and reliability platform that ensures your webhooks reach their destination — every time.

The Problem

Section titled “The Problem”

Webhooks are deceptively simple: send an HTTP request when something happens. But in production, things get complicated:

  • Endpoints go down — temporary outages, deployments, network issues
  • Rate limits kick in — your events pile up and get dropped
  • Failures are silent — you don’t know a webhook failed until a customer complains
  • Debugging is painful — what payload did you send? What response did you get?

The Solution

Section titled “The Solution”

HookBridge handles the hard parts of webhook delivery:

Automatic Retries

Section titled “Automatic Retries”

When a delivery fails, HookBridge automatically retries with exponential backoff. Up to 8 attempts over 2+ hours means temporary issues don’t become permanent failures.

Delivery Tracking

Section titled “Delivery Tracking”

Every delivery attempt is logged with the full request, response, timing, and status. Know exactly what happened and when.

Dead Letter Queue

Section titled “Dead Letter Queue”

Messages that exhaust all retries go to a dead letter queue where you can inspect and replay them. No data is ever lost.

Replay Capabilities

Section titled “Replay Capabilities”

Resend any message with a single API call. Perfect for debugging or recovering from endpoint issues.

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”
  1. You send a message to HookBridge with your payload and target endpoint
  2. HookBridge stores it durably in S3 before acknowledging (zero data loss)
  3. The message is queued and delivered to your endpoint
  4. On failure, automatic retries with exponential backoff kick in
  5. You monitor deliveries in real-time through the console or API
