Introduction
Von is an open-source webhook infrastructure platform that handles the complexity of reliable webhook delivery at scale. Whether you're sending webhooks to your customers or receiving webhooks from third-party services, Von provides the tools you need.
Why Webhook Infrastructure?
Building reliable webhooks from scratch is harder than it looks. You need to handle:
- Retries with backoff - What happens when an endpoint is temporarily down?
- Idempotency - How do you prevent duplicate processing?
- Monitoring - How do you debug delivery failures?
- Security - How do you verify webhooks are authentic?
- Versioning - How do you evolve payloads without breaking integrations?
Von handles all of this for you, so you can focus on building your product.
