About Outpost
Outpost is a server from Hookdeck that a software product runs to send webhooks and events to its own users. Instead of building delivery, retries and destination management in-house, a team deploys Outpost and publishes events to it.
The repository includes Kubernetes Helm charts, example configuration files, generated SDKs and load-testing tools, and the project has frequent commits. It suits developers of SaaS products who need to offer webhooks and other event destinations to customers.
