All About APIs
Driving growth through Webhooks for the modern API stack (w/ Tom Hacohen) | All About APIs Ep 008
28 Dec 2022
APIs are ubiquitous and an integral part of the modern API stack. However, there are limitations to the traditional request-response model, specifically when dealing with changes of state asynchronously in a non-ugly (read: polling) way. Enter webhooks! In this season finale of the All About APIs podcast, we speak with Tom Hacohen, the founder and CEO of Svix, a Webhooks as a service company enabling users to build a secure, reliable, and scalable webhooks platform. During our discussion, we look at what an event-driven architecture powered by webhooks looks like some key challenges, use cases and why they are essential drivers of product-led growth for API-first businesses. ---------------------------- Svix, the enterprise-ready webhooks service, is backed by Y Combinator, Aleph, and founders and CTOs of companies such as Github, PagerDuty, Segment, and Lookout. Tom is passionate about coding and technology and has been an active open-source contributor and maintainer for over a decade. Follow Tom and Svix on Twitter
