Outbound Webhook Delivery

Convoy

Convoy is evaluated here as convoy's open-source webhook delivery system; hosting, database, queues, backups, observability, security, and on-call remain application-owned.

Editorial verdict

Choose Convoy when self-operated control is a hard requirement and the team can own delivery correctness and platform operations.12

Best for

  • Self-hosted webhook delivery
  • Teams with platform operations capacity
  • Products requiring infrastructure control
12

Not ideal for

  • Teams wanting managed operations
  • Organizations without on-call ownership
  • Buyers treating open source as zero total cost
12
Main trade-off

Self-hosted control reduces hosted-vendor dependence while transferring reliability, scaling, storage, upgrades, security, and support to the team.12
