webhookx ★ 300 19 APPLICATION

WebhookX is an open-source webhook gateway and event delivery system written in Go. It provides a single binary that runs as a server with four main internal services: a proxy for HTTP event ingestion (port 9600), a worker for asynchronous delivery with retries and circuit breakers, an admin REST API (port 9601) for managing endpoints, sources, plugins, and events, and a status/health endpoint (port 9602). Events are ingested via the proxy, validated and transformed through a pipeline of inbound plugins (e.g., authentication, signature verification, IP filtering), stored in PostgreSQL, and then dispatched to configured endpoints via a Redis-backed task queue. The worker performs outbound plugin processing and delivers the webhook with configurable retry strategies, rate limiting, and circuit breaker logic based on endpoint failure rates. The system supports multi-tenancy (workspaces, license-gated), declarative GitOps-style configuration via YAML, and clustering through PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY for cache invalidation and event fanout. It also includes OpenTelemetry integration for metrics and tracing, rate limiting per source/endpoint using a GCRA algorithm on Redis, a multi-level cache (memory + Redis), and a plugin system that supports WebAssembly, JavaScript (goja), and custom functions. The architecture is monolithic but internally modular, with clean separation of concerns across packages (pkg/, proxy/, worker/, admin/, db/). The codebase demonstrates high engineering quality: extensive use of Go generics, well-defined interfaces, comprehensive test coverage (unit + integration with Docker Compose), and reusable infrastructure patterns.
