## FAQs

### What is Outpost?

Outpost is open-source webhook delivery infrastructure that lets you send events to your users' preferred destinations including webhooks, SQS, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub, EventBridge, Kafka, and more.

### What's the difference between Managed and Self-hosted?

Managed Outpost is hosted and operated by Hookdeck with a serverless, usage-based pricing model. Self-hosted Outpost uses the same open-source codebase but you deploy and manage it in your own infrastructure.

### Is Outpost really open source?

Yes. Outpost is licensed under Apache 2.0. There are no proprietary versions or private forks – the same exact codebase is used for both managed and self-hosted deployments.

### How do I get started with self-hosted Outpost?

You can deploy Outpost using Docker or Kubernetes on any cloud provider including AWS, Azure, GCP, Railway, or Fly.io. Check out the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/hookdeck/outpost) and [quickstart guides](https://hookdeck.com/docs/outpost/quickstarts) to get started.

### What event destinations does Outpost support?

Outpost supports delivering events to webhooks (HTTP endpoints), Amazon SQS, RabbitMQ, Google Pub/Sub, AWS EventBridge, Apache Kafka, and the Hookdeck Event Gateway.

### Can I migrate from another webhook provider?

Yes. Outpost is designed to be backward compatible, allowing you to maintain existing signatures, secrets, and retry logic without user-facing changes.

### How is event usage billed?

Usage is prorated in chunks of 10,000 events. At $10 per million events, each 10,000-event chunk costs $0.10, so if you use 10,001 events you are billed for two chunks ($0.20).

### What counts as an "Event" for pricing?

An event is counted when it is delivered to a destination. If a tenant has two destinations and one published event is delivered to both, that counts as two events. Retries are not charged.

### Where do I find Event Gateway pricing?

You can find Event Gateway pricing [here](/pricing).
