What it is

hookstead.dev, as visitors see it

HookStead sits between your providers and your app, recording every webhook, forwarding it with signatures and retries, and showing you exactly what happened at every attempt. The service verifies webhooks on arrival, stores them before your provider receives acknowledgment, and retries failed deliveries from the database with exponential backoff and jitter. You can search all events by text, header, JSON path, source, time or delivery outcome, and retry or replay failed deliveries with one click or in bulk. Features include Standard Webhooks signatures on every attempt, secret rotation with an overlap window, stable webhook IDs for deduplication, encrypted payloads at rest, and alerts that notify you when failures occur and when the system recovers.

Questions from the bench

What happens when my endpoint is down?
HookStead keeps the event and retries with exponential backoff and jitter, honoring Retry-After up to your destination's attempt limit. Once delivery is marked failed, an alert can email you, and you can retry it once you're back.
Do I still need to verify the provider's signature?
No. HookStead verifies the provider's signature on arrival and rejects anything forged. You should verify HookStead's own webhook-signature instead, which is fresh on every attempt unlike provider signatures that expire after a few minutes.
Can I self-host it?
Yes. HookStead ships as Docker images with a production compose file. With billing turned off, every organization gets one plan's limits and nothing talks to Stripe.
What counts toward my monthly events?
Each webhook received and each replayed delivery count toward your monthly events. Retries of the same delivery are free. Usage resets on the 1st of each month (UTC).
What happens when I reach my monthly events?
New webhooks get a 429 with Retry-After until the month resets, and you get an email at 80% and 100% usage first. Your providers retry 429s, so upgrading during an outage lets their retries through.
