🚢 July at Hookdeck:

- v4 Dashboard: faster, clearer
- Smarter routing: set transform/filter order
- Outpost 0.4.0: Azure Service Bus destination type support
- Stripe collab: rate-limit-friendly webhooks + meetups
- New Sources: OpenAI, LinkedIn, DocuSign

Full update → hookdeck.com/blog/hookde...

📖 Read the release post, including SDK examples → hookdeck.com/blog/outpos...

🔄 Highlights:

- Azure Service Bus support (queues and topics)
- New SDKs (TypeScript, Go, and Python, generated with @speakeasy.com)
- Azure deployment scripts
- Example showing how to create a tenant, add a destination, and publish an event with the SDKs

In this release, we've added support for Azure Service Bus queues and topics as a destination type, ideal for teams building on Azure or developer tool companies supporting Microsoft-based stacks.

🚢 Outpost 0.4.0 released

Outpost is our open source, self-hosted event delivery service. It gives you full control over how events are delivered as webhooks and directly to queues, with retries, delivery logs, and multi-tenant routing built in.

See the blog for examples: hookdeck.com/blog/transf...

The Hookdeck Event Gateway allows full control over transformation and filter order in your event pipeline.

Options include:
→ Filter or transform first
→ Cleanup data pre-delivery
→ Deliver only essential data

Available via dashboard UI and API.

Event-driven architecture with robust queuing is your friend. Decouple, buffer, and process webhooks reliably.

Idempotency isn't just a nice-to-have - it's critical. Your webhook handler needs to handle the same event multiple times without side effects.

Synchronous webhook processing? Recipe for disaster. You'll hit timeouts, dropped connections, and potentially trigger retry storms.

Webhooks are not a trivial problem at scale. When you're processing thousands of events per second, your strategy matters.

Webhooks are usually delivered at-least-once. Assume duplicates and out-of-order events are the norm, not the exception.

Key considerations include:

- Selecting appropriate message brokers
- Understanding distributed streaming platforms
- Designing flexible event gateways
- Creating resilient microservices architectures

The goal? Build systems that react in real-time and adapt to changing business needs.

Event-Driven Architecture: Beyond the Basics

Choosing the right infrastructure for event-driven systems is a strategic move that can define your application's performance, scalability, and responsiveness.

Performance: We optimized loading times, streamlined navigation, and created a dashboard that feels responsive from the first click.

We've reimagined how developers interact with complex event infrastructure. Clean, fast, informative.

Data visualization isn't just about looking good. It's about giving you instant insight into your event streams. Every pixel is now purposefully designed to help you understand system behavior faster.

Resource management used to feel cramped. Now? Your core workflows have room to breathe. We built this base so future iterations can be even faster and more intuitive.

Our new dashboard v4 is a serious upgrade. It's a fundamental rebuild for clarity and speed. We tackled the core challenge of making event metrics instantly readable.

Learn about how to use Hookdeck filters to enable routing logic
hookdeck.com/docs/filters

Use inclusion filters to define which events flow through specific connections explicitly. This means less noise, more signal.

By decoupling routing logic, you can dynamically adjust event handling without requiring a redeployment of your entire system. Think of it like a smart traffic controller for your data.

Key benefits:
- Reduce infrastructure load
- Simplify endpoint logic
- Create more flexible workflows

💡 Ever wondered how to manage complex event streams without cluttering your application code? Event filtering and routing is your secret sauce.
