August 2024 Summaries

Hookdeck has released a new version of its CLI (v0.11), which allows users to listen to multiple sources and update the path of a destination using the -path flag. The Hookdeck CLI is now more intuitive, with removed interactive prompts and sensible defaults set for the listen command. Additionally, Hookdeck's webhook platform guides have been updated for Stripe, Paddle, and AWS Lambda platforms. Shopify has announced changes to its webhook retry strategy, but existing Hookdeck users can rest assured that these changes will not impact them. The company also discussed the importance of webhooks in Asynchronous AI applications, highlighting their potential for integrating with AI platforms for tasks such as parsing and generating large documents or processing audio, images, and video.

SupaHooks: An Outbound Webhooks Next.js Template` is a Next.js template demonstrating the fundamentals of using `Hookdeck` as infrastructure for outbound webhooks. The template provides utility functions to map `Hookdeck` concepts to webhook subscriptions and publishing events to subscribers, enabling developers to send notifications to external systems when events occur within a platform. It offers various features such as signing user secrets, creating webhook subscriptions, testing data publication, handling database webhooks, and listing published event details. The template can be used as a starting point for new Next.js applications or copied/referenced in existing applications to add outbound webhook support.
