Hookdeck vs Amazon EventBridge: Which way to go for your webhooks?

In this post, we compared two services for asynchronous processing of webhook requests: Amazon EventBridge and Hookdeck. Both systems offer event-driven architectures and can handle rapid increases in webhook requests to prevent server overload. However, the setup process for each service varies significantly. AWS EventBridge requires a more complex setup with multiple components such as Lambda functions, API Gateway, and IAM roles. In contrast, Hookdeck offers a simpler and quicker onboarding process with fewer steps and compulsory fields. Additionally, Hookdeck provides features like logging systems for requests, request filtering, retries, and a dashboard for troubleshooting webhooks. Based on these factors, Hookdeck may be the preferred choice for those seeking an all-in-one tool with a simpler setup process and better user experience.
