Hookdeck Outpost
Outpost is open-source infrastructure for delivering events to user-preferred destinations: Webhooks (HTTP), SQS, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub, EventBridge, Kafka, and more. Apache 2.0 licensed, available as managed by Hookdeck or self-hosted.

- You want self-hostable webhook delivery infrastructure
- You need multi-tenant support with per-user observability
- You want to offer your customers reliable, retryable event delivery
