AI Webhook Inspector & Relay

I just launched Hookdropi after 6 weeks of building in public.

The idea came from a real problem: I lost a Stripe webhook while my server was restarting. 3 hours debugging something that shouldn't have happened.

So I built the tool I wished existed.

---

Hookdropi is an AI-native webhook relay and inspector:

→ Permanent capture URL — never lose an event again

→ Auto-retry forwarding with exponential backoff

→ Dead letter queue for undeliverable events

→ One-click replay against any environment

→ Real-time dashboard via WebSocket

→ AI explains every payload in plain English

→ AI writes your complete handler code

→ AI diagnoses why deliveries fail

Stack: Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, BullMQ, Next.js, Gemini AI, Paystack, Flutterwave.

Deployed on Railway + Vercel. Docs on Mintlify.

Current status:

- Free plan: 500 events/month

- Paid plans: ₦7,500 – ₦49,000/month

- First 20 developers get 3 months of Pro free

---

What I learned:

1. Separate your ingestion API from your application API. Webhooks need to respond in <50ms. Everything else can be async.

2. BullMQ's exponential backoff is elegant. Configure it once, it handles everything.

3. AI integration was easier than I expected. The hard part is the prompt, not the API.

4. Deploy earlier than you think you need to. Production bugs only appear in production.

I'm looking for:

- Developers who work with Stripe, GitHub, Paystack, or Shopify webhooks

- Honest feedback on what's missing or broken

- Anyone willing to try the free plan and tell me what they think

Happy to answer any questions about the build.
