## Deployed your way: managed or self-hosted

Outpost is distributed as a Go binary or Docker image. No private forks or proprietary versions—the same Outpost, managed by Hookdeck or yourself.

### Migrate easily

Maintain signatures, secrets, and retry logic with full backwards compatibility.

### Deploy quickly

Simple APIs and a dedicated end user portal to start sending webhooks in minutes.

## All the tablestakes, none of the complexity

The essentials for reliable event delivery with exceptional DX, just without the bells-and-whistles that drive up cost.

### Delivery guarantee

Messages are delivered at-least-once, never lost. Guaranteed.

### Topic-based subscriptions

Publish and subscription support for easy adoption and integration.

### Automatic and manual retries

Configure automatic retries or manually trigger them via API or user portal.

### Publish by API or queue

Use Outpost API or configure Outpost to read events from a publish queue.

### Multi-tenant support

Create multiple tenants on a single Outpost deployment.

### User portal

Developers can view metrics, or manage, debug, and observe event destinations.

### OpenTelemetry

Support for OpenTelemetry standardized traces, metrics, and logs.

### Best practices, built-in

Opt-out idempotency headers, timestamp and signature, and signature rotation.

### User alerts

Grant developers the ability to configure and manage event delivery alerts.
