Hookdeck Outpost is outbound webhook infrastructure for platforms delivering events to destinations selected by their users.
What Hookdeck Outpost is
Hookdeck Outpost is outbound webhook infrastructure for platforms delivering events to destinations selected by their users. Hookdeck offers a managed service, while the open-source version can be deployed on infrastructure you manage. Outpost is Apache-2.0 licensed, written in Go, and distributed as a binary and Docker container. It supports topics, topic-based subscriptions, content-based destination filters, tenant isolation, and sending events to multiple destinations. Options include webhooks, AWS and Google services, Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Cloudflare Queues, and Hookdeck Event Gateway.
Delivery is at least once, so consumers should deduplicate events by event ID. Failed deliveries retry automatically with exponential backoff by default; schedules can be customized, and attempts can also be retried through the Retry API, tenant portal, or Admin UI. Security features include webhook signatures, Standard Webhooks compatibility, and secret rotation. Monitoring includes failing-destination alerts, optional automatic disabling of failed destinations, and OpenTelemetry metrics. Self-hosting costs nothing. Managed Starter is $10 a month, billed pay-as-you-go at $10 per million events; the first 50k events are free.
