Svix is SendGrid for webhooks. Webhooks are becoming increasingly important, though they are still a pain to build. Developers need to worry about deliverability, retries, monitoring, security and the developer experience for their users. All of which are different for webhooks compared to the rest of the stack. We turn all of that into a simple API call.

We are well funded and are backed by Y Combinator, Aleph, and founders and CTOs of companies such as Github, PagerDuty, Segment, Lookout and Fly.io.
