Why Your API Should Use a Webhook Registry Pattern

Episode notes

Webhooks are everywhere - but most teams manage them like tribal knowledge buried in siloed code. This episode explains why a webhook registry pattern - a central, versioned, discoverable store of every webhook your API sends - solves the chaos. Lucas walks through how Stripe and GitHub each tackled webhook sprawl, and why a $15/month open-source tool like Hookdeck is reshaping how small teams think about reliability. Luna pushes back on the maintenance tax, and they land on a practical balance for teams of 5 to 50 engineers. A concrete pattern for anyone shipping events. #Webhooks #WebhookRegistry #API #APIArchitecture #SoftwareEngineering #EventDriven #DeveloperTools #Stripe #GitHub #Hookdeck #APIReliability #DeveloperExperience #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheDeveloperToolsPodcast #Engineering #PatternCatalog Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
