Svix

Building and managing webhooks can be a real nightmare for developers. You have to worry about delivery failures, retries, security, monitoring, and scaling - all while maintaining your core product features. Svix changes this by providing webhooks as a service, letting you focus on what matters most.

Svix is an enterprise-ready platform that handles all the complex parts of webhook delivery for you. Whether you're a startup just getting started or a Fortune 500 company sending billions of webhooks, Svix scales automatically to meet your needs. With simple API integration, you can have webhooks running in minutes instead of months, while ensuring enterprise-grade security and reliability for your customers.

Svix is a webhooks-as-a-service platform that takes the pain out of sending webhooks. Think of webhooks as notifications that your app sends to other apps when something important happens - like when a payment is processed or a user signs up.

Instead of building your own webhook system from scratch, Svix provides a complete solution with just a simple API call. It handles all the technical challenges: automatic retries when endpoints fail, secure message signing, real-time monitoring, and scaling from zero to billions of messages.

Founded in 2021 and backed by Y Combinator and Andreessen Horowitz, Svix serves companies from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. The platform is both available as a hosted service and open-source, giving you flexibility in how you deploy it.

Getting started with Svix is straightforward and developer-friendly. First, sign up for a free account at svix.com and get your API key from the dashboard. The free plan includes everything you need to start testing with up to 50,000 messages per month.

Integration is simple - just install the Svix SDK for your programming language (available for Python, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, and more) or use the REST API directly. Here's how it works:

• Create applications for each of your customers or services

• Define event types that matter to your business (like 'user.created' or 'payment.completed')

• Use one API call to send webhook messages to all your customers' endpoints

• Let Svix handle the rest - retries, security, monitoring, and scaling

Your customers get a beautiful portal where they can manage their webhook endpoints, view delivery logs, and test integrations. You can embed this portal directly in your dashboard with just a few lines of code, giving your users complete control over their webhook experience.

Svix provides a comprehensive webhook infrastructure with everything you need for reliable delivery. The platform automatically handles retries with smart exponential backoff, ensuring messages reach their destination even when endpoints are temporarily down.

Key features include:

• Real-time monitoring with detailed delivery logs and analytics

• Enterprise security with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA compliance

• Message signing using industry-standard HMAC signatures for verification

• Customer portal that you can embed or customize for your users

• Multiple SDKs supporting Python, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, and more

• Automatic scaling from zero to billions of webhooks without configuration

• Open-source option for self-hosting with full control

The platform also includes advanced features like message transformations, fanout to multiple endpoints, webhook playgrounds for testing, and integration with popular tools like Zapier and Netlify. Built-in analytics help you monitor delivery rates and troubleshoot issues quickly.

Svix offers flexible pricing to fit teams of all sizes. The Free plan provides 50,000 messages per month at no cost, perfect for startups and testing. This includes all core features like automatic retries, security, and the customer portal.

The Professional plan starts at $490 per month and includes 1 million messages, with additional messages billed per use. You get priority support, advanced analytics, and enterprise features like SSO and audit logs.
