Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Webhook Relay is a service for forwarding and relaying webhooks. The only comment here mentions it as a point of comparison with a competing webhook tool, Hookdeck, and says nothing about the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Webhook Relay is a webhook service: receive, transform, route and retry webhooks to internal and public destinations, and send signed webhooks to your customers.

What Hacker News says?
Mostly https://webhookrelay.com/ , adding serverless webhook modification feature (currently to store config, secrets, execution logs for debugging) so lots of Go, Rust (For wasm) and Lua :) This is mostly fuelled now by feature requests where people are integrating forms and other services to report covid cases. Trying to help them for free and ensure they don’t have to pay for service as they are non profits. Part…

HN discussionI have been running https://webhookrelay.com/ as I side project for the last two years and since last March it's quite profitable. Environment is highly automated, running on GKE, builds and testing on drone.io while deployments are rolled out by keel.sh, some alerting goes through Node-RED so I don't have to interfere. Still doing full-time consulting but hopefully in the next year or two I will transition full-tim…

HN discussionDo you have an idea of when hookdeck will have transformations. It's not something we need immediately but would be the win over something like: https://webhookrelay.com/ if it's something you have on your roadmap for sometime soon.

HN discussionHi, my shameless plug (I am the creator of webhookrelay): https://webhookrelay.com/v1/guide/ingress-controller , using it both for services that are running in GKE and on minikube locally. It's cheaper than allocating a LB IP for backing services that don't get much traffic like Grafana and similar things.

HN discussionI tried to like TypeScript a bit more than a year ago but couldn't, maybe I should give it another chance. I mostly do my frontend development in Vue.js so even though it supports TypeScript, I never found any need for it (I use typed Props to pass data between the components) as I try to make my UI as thin as possible, just fetching some data from the backend and displaying it. You can have a look at my project- ht…

HN discussionshameless plug: I initially created webhookrelay for just this case - Jenkins & Github :) Instead of polling, you can start builds on webhook request. It can create one-way tunnels so your Jenkins is not exposed to the internet (for PRs https://webhookrelay.com/blog/2019/04/17/automated-github-pu... ). Open source client for webhook forwarding is also available! Now the project evolved into way more, but still, star…

HN discussionI also had a look at Docker for Mac. It's now my default k8s dev environment, I must admit that even if their high CPU usage issue it's still a lot more CPU friendly than minikube. What's great for development is that you can also build images on Mac and run them inside k8s environment, no need to change daemons. Which was sometimes a bit annoying with Minikube and I usually found myself just pushing them to the doc…
