Inhooks aims to be a lightweight incoming webhooks gateway solution. Written in Go and runnable as a single binary or docker container. Only requires a redis database for storage/queueing.

Note: This software is still early in its development cycle / not battle-tested. Test thoroughly before using in production systems.

• Receive HTTP Webhooks and Enqueue to redis
• Fanout messages to multiple HTTP targets
• Delayed processing
• Retries on failure with configurable maximum attempts count, interval, with constant or exponential backoff
• ... more features coming

The inhooks config file allows setting up the Source to Sink flows. Create a file named inhooks.yml in the folder where the inhooks server will run (configurable via the INHOOKS_CONFIG_FILE env variable).

Example inhooks.yml config

flows:
  - id: flow-1
    source:
      id: source-1
      slug: source-1-slug
      type: http
    sinks:
      - id: sink-1
        type: http
        url: https://example.com/target
        delay: 90s # delay processing by 90 seconds
      - id: sink-2
        type: http
        url: https://example.com/othertarget
        retryInterval: 5m # on error, retry after 5 minutes
        # retryExpMultiplier: 2 # exponential backoff
        maxAttempts: 10 # maximum number of attempts

With this config, inhooks will listen to http POST requests to /api/v1/ingest/source-1-slug.

When a message is received, it is saved to the redis database. Then inhooks tries to send it to each of the urls defined in the sinks section of the config. In case of failures, retries are attempted based on the sink config params.

If the config is modifed, the server must be restarted to load the new config.

Go 1.20+ and Redis 6.2.6+ are required
