Hazel is your one-stop solution to streamline your webhook architecture. Webhooks, despite being a simple concept, come bundled with complexities—ranging from verifying signatures to rate limiting and handling retries. We’re here to simplify these challenges for you.
The creation of Hazel stems from our own frustrations. Time and time again, we grappled with similar challenges when integrating new webhook services, knowing there must be a better way to approch this. So we build Hazel to not need to worry about our webhook services anymore and have one place to monitor them all. Meaning now you can focus on actually implementing your business features and not worry about connecting webhooks to your business anymore.
Hazel offers a huge variety of features right out of the gate:
Manage and monitor all your webhooks effortlessly from a unified dashboard, enabling swift identification and resolution of issues.
Ratelimiting, retries on failure and delays are an essential part of webhook infrastrucutre but can be super unrealiable or even none existent. Hazel provides a consistent delay, retry and ratelimiting system for all webhook sources.
We provide very straightforward and easy to use intgerations for most popular webhook sources, but also provide simple solutions to verify other sources. This way you will never have to worry about verifying your webhook on your server anymore, by just using one of Hazel’s sdks.
We provide a simple rest api to easily manage Webhooks in your tech stack without ever needing to interact with Hazels-UI. You can create connections, destinations or connect new sources.
We made it as simple as possible to also test your webhooks locally with the help of our CLI to make developing with Hazel a breeze.
We’ve engineered Hazel with performance as one of the core principles. Our commitment to this principle means Hazel adds only a minimal latency (around 30-50ms) to your webhook requests, ensuring near real-time responses.
