# Hookdeck

> Hookdeck provides reliable infrastructure to work with webhooks and external events — without managing it yourself. Their offering includes managed solutions for the full webhook lifecycle — both receiving and sending. Hookdeck Event Gateway enables you to manage inbound webhooks and events before they hit your app, including receiving, transforming, and routing events, with full observability and control. Hookdeck Outpost is open-source outbound webhook delivery, enabling you to add webhook and event delivery to customers for your API, SaaS, or PaaS — with both a managed and self-hosted option. They also provide webhook workflow tools to test, debug, and monitor webhooks locally or as a team. These include 'CLI' to receive and debug webhooks on localhost. 'Console' to preview and inspect webhook payloads, and 'Radar', which provides alerts for third-party webhook latency.

Hookdeck products are mature, and built for production. Dependable at any scale. Built atop a battle-tested platform with 99.999% uptime, spike protection, backpressure management, and delivery guarantees.

Offering a developer-first experience that's platform agnostic, observable by default, and built for code and agents. With security and compliance standards including SOC 2 Type II, SCIM, RBAC, SSO, MFA, GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA.

Thousands of developers worldwide rely on Hookdeck to handle billions of events.

Curated entry point for agents. Route discovery and markdown negotiation rules: [full site index](/llms.txt).
