What is Outpost?
Outpost is a self-hostable platform that lets developers add reliable outbound webhook delivery to their applications. It handles the hard parts: retry logic, tenant isolation, observability, and a customer-facing portal where end users manage their own destinations. The system runs on Go and needs Redis, PostgreSQL, plus one message queue (RabbitMQ, NATS, AWS SQS, GCP Pub/Sub, or Azure Service Bus). It can push events to 11 different destination types — plain webhooks, Hookdeck's own gateway, major cloud event buses, message queues, and object storage. Deploy it yourself with Docker Compose, Kubernetes, or Railway, or use Hookdeck's managed offering. Licensed Apache-2.0.
