Verify • Store • Retry • Replay • Observe
The reliability layer for webhooks.
Hooklayer sits between webhook senders and your systems. It verifies requests, stores every event, shields you from bursts and rate limits, and guarantees delivery with retries, replay, and full observability.
Signature verification
Retries + dead-letter
Replay any time

Verify
Reject spoofed requests using signatures and optional IP allowlists.
Retry & replay
Automatic retries with backoff, plus replay any event to any destination.
Inbox
Search, filter, and inspect event payloads and delivery attempts.
Shield
Smooth bursts, prevent 429 storms, and protect downstream systems.
Delivery guarantees
Store events first, then deliver. If a destination is down, Hooklayer retries safely and records every attempt.
Auditability
Immutable event history, searchable logs, and clear traceability from inbound request to each delivery.
Works with any sender
You keep your webhook contract. Hooklayer focuses on transport, reliability, and observability.
When Hooklayer helps most
Retry storms
Senders retry aggressively and overload your API.
Burst traffic
Sudden spikes cause timeouts, 429s, or dropped events.
Debugging
You need a clear inbox and exact payload history to reproduce issues.
Replay
Reprocess old events safely when a bug fix ships.
