Simple webhook delivery system powered by Golang and PostgreSQL.

Features

  • Simple rest api with only three endpoints (webhooks/deliveries/delivery-attempts).
  • Select the status codes that are considered valid for a delivery.
  • Control the maximum amount of delivery attempts and delay between these attempts (min and max backoff).
  • Locks control of worker deliveries using PostgreSQL SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED.
  • Sending the X-Hub-Signature header if the webhook is configured with a secret token.
  • Simplicity, it does the minimum necessary, it will not have authentication/permission scheme among other things, the idea is to use it internally in the cloud and not leave exposed.

Quickstart

Let's start with the basic concepts, we have three main entities that we must know to start:

  • Webhook: The configuration of the webhook.
  • Delivery: The content sent to a webhook.
  • Delivery Attempt: An attempt to deliver the content to the webhook.

Run the server

To run the server it is necessary to have a database available from postgresql, in this example we will consider that we have a database called postmand running in localhost with user and password equal to user.

docker run --name postgres --restart unless-stopped -e POSTGRES_USER=user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass -e POSTGRES_DB=postmand -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:12-alpine

Docker

docker run --rm --env POSTMAND_DATABASE_URL='postgres://user:[email protected]:5432/postmand?sslmode=disable' quay.io/allisson/postmand migrate # create database schema
docker run -p 8000:8000 -p 8001:8001 --env POSTMAND_DATABASE_URL='postgres://user:[email protected]:5432/postmand?sslmode=disable' quay.io/allisson/postmand server # run the server

Local

Install just command runner: https://github.com/casey/just?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

git clone https://github.com/allisson/postmand
cd postmand
cp local.env .env # and edit .env
just db-migrate # create database schema
just run-server # run the server
just run-worker

Run the worker

The worker is responsible to delivery content to the webhooks.

Docker

docker run --env POSTMAND_DATABASE_URL='postgres://user:[email protected]:5432/postmand?sslmode=disable' quay.io/allisson/postmand worker

Local

just run-worker
go run cmd/postmand/main.go worker

Create a new webhook

The fields delivery_attempt_timeout/retry_min_backoff/retry_max_backoff are in seconds.

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8000/v1/webhooks' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
