Webhook retry proxy

Persistent logging and one-click retries for webhooks, so small teams stop losing events

Problem
Small teams wire critical flows to webhooks, but when the receiver times out or returns a 500, the event is gone and there is no reliable record of what arrived or whether it should be replayed. Developers end up writing throwaway scripts or digging through provider dashboards.
Solution
A low-config proxy layer that gives each webhook a dedicated URL, stores every inbound request with response status and latency, and supports automatic or one-click replay. A simple dashboard shows failures and lets users retry without changing receiver code.
Users
Indie developers and small teams using Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, Slack webhooks; technical leads building integrations.
MVP
Unique inbound URL with transparent forwarding; store headers, body, response code and latency; failed-event list with one-click replay; basic email or Slack alerts; per-project isolation.
Revenue
Tiered monthly subscription by event volume (free tier plus overage), or charge by retention window and retry count; team plan adds members and audit logs.
Why now
Webhooks are the default integration mechanism for SaaS, yet most small teams lack queueing and retry infrastructure. A single small server plus a database is enough for an indie developer to ship a proxy layer without competing with platforms.
