Outpost Early-access, Webhook Skills & Metrics API - Hookdeck January 2026
Blog post from Hookdeck
In January 2026, Hookdeck introduced several significant updates including the early-access launch of Hookdeck Outpost, which is a serverless, fully managed solution for efficient and cost-effective webhook delivery, supporting a variety of event destinations like AWS SQS and RabbitMQ. The Outpost aims to simplify webhook infrastructure with features like at-least-once delivery guarantees and multi-tenant support, providing substantial cost savings compared to existing solutions. Additionally, new webhook skills were launched to enhance AI agents' abilities in managing webhook integrations, supporting various providers and frameworks, and offering best practices for idempotency and error handling. The newly introduced Metrics API allows users to access real-time reporting data for custom dashboard creation and alerts, complementing existing metrics exports to platforms like Datadog. Furthermore, updates to the Hookdeck CLI improved integration capabilities with GCP authentication and enhanced local development workflows, while new source types with secure HMAC signature verification were added to the Hookdeck Event Gateway.
