Ship webhooks. Not retry logic.

POST an event. We handle retries, HMAC signing, exponential backoff, per-endpoint concurrency, and durable receipts. You handle your product.

// features

Just the primitives you'd build yourself.

If you've written a webhook system before, you know the list. Here it is, managed.

Retry with backoff

8 attempts over 24h. Exponential curve. Per-endpoint override.

HMAC-SHA256 signing

Relay-Signature: t=<unix>,v1=<hex>. Verify in ~5 lines.

Attempt logs

Every attempt: status, headers, body, latency. Queryable via API.

Idempotency keys

Send the same event twice, we deliver it once. Server-side dedup.

Concurrency caps

Cap in-flight deliveries per endpoint. Never DoS your own customer.

Circuit breaker

Endpoint 4xx-storming? We back off automatically and alert.

Fictional product demo. Features and metrics are sample content for this template. The chat bubble in the bottom-right is the embeddable widget loaded with data-site="relayapi". Try asking it: "How do I send my first event?", "How does the retry policy work?", or "How do I verify signatures?"
