The future of event-driven apps: lessons from 100B+ webhooks

Описание: Join Stripe’s Ben Smith for a deep dive into the future of event-driven architecture with Alexandre Bouchard, co-founder and CEO of Hookdeck — the platform trusted to process over 100 billion webhooks (and counting).

In this conversation, Alex unpacks the architectural challenges of building reliable async systems, how Hookdeck helps developers manage webhook chaos from services like Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, and Twilio, and why the industry is shifting from “just webhooks” to fully interoperable event gateways.

Ben and Alex cover:
Why webhook reliability breaks at scale—and what you can do about it

How Hookdeck’s event gateway solves for retry logic, replay, and cross-provider consistency

Why Stripe’s new Event Destinations reflect a broader industry shift toward event-native infrastructure

How Hookdeck is helping developers build, test, and scale async systems faster

Whether you're just starting with Stripe webhooks or already managing millions of events, this one’s packed with practical insight and future-forward thinking.
