Deliver was created out of frustration with existing methods for monitoring webhook systems. Queue message age, error rate, and CPU utilization tend to hide what matters—the webhook consumer’s experience.
The lifecycle of active webhook monitoring
Every few minutes, Deliver sends a POST request to an endpoint of your system. It then waits for an event to be posted to a receipt endpoint. If the event is not received within the configured window of time, an alert is created. Either way, Deliver stores the timing data and presents it in-app.
In the future Deliver will be capable of validating properties of the received webhook events, like request signatures and payload bodies. Additionally, events will be filterable to only allow certain messages to satisfy receipt expectations.
