Why Redis is a great cache, but a bad webhook queue
A technical look at why Redis-backed webhook ingestion breaks at scale, and what a real webhook gateway gives you that Redis can't.
Migrating Redis-backed webhook handling to Hookdeck Event Gateway
A phased migration plan for teams running BullMQ, Sidekiq, or custom Redis-backed webhook ingestion — without a quarter-long project.

Hookdeck Event Gateway vs Inngest: Webhook Gateway and Durable Runtime Compared
A detailed comparison of Hookdeck Event Gateway and Inngest, covering where each fits in an event-driven system, how their features differ, and when to use one, the other, or both.
Webhook Gateways and Durable Runtimes: Two Tools for Reliable Agent Workflows
Webhook gateways and durable runtimes solve different halves of the reliable-agent-workflow problem. A guide to what each category does, where each shines, and how to decide which you need — or whether you need both.
Why most webhook-triggered agents don't need a workflow engine
A case against over-tooling reliable agent infrastructure. If your webhook-triggered agent is three function calls with an LLM in the middle, a durable workflow engine is overkill. A gateway and a well-behaved handler will do — and keep the expensive option for later.
GitHub agent automation: Hookdeck, Trigger.dev, and Claude
Build AI-powered GitHub agent automation (PR reviews, issue labels, Slack summaries) with durable Trigger.dev tasks behind Hookdeck: GitHub Source Authentication, transforms, retries, and two routing patterns—task router vs connection routing at the edge.
