February 2026 Summaries

Spruce Health, a leading platform for HIPAA-compliant healthcare communication, opted to use Convoy, an open-source webhook gateway, to enhance their event delivery system. Led by Principal Engineer Michael Raines, Spruce's engineering team, known for its customer-driven product development and data-driven decision-making, needed a reliable solution to deliver webhook events to an expanding customer base without the time-intensive process of building a system from scratch. Convoy was chosen for its well-written Go-based code, scalability, and open-source nature, which aligns with Spruce's tech stack and offers full control and visibility. The adoption of Convoy's fan-out functionality, which enables sending a single event to multiple endpoints effortlessly, significantly simplified Spruce's architecture and reduced complexity. This choice allowed Spruce to accelerate their time to market, reducing development time from an estimated six to nine months to just two to three months, while maintaining a small, efficient team and focusing on core product development.
