That's huge change, both in terms of making Hookdeck even easier to use but also by setting the ground work to expand support for new protocols and direct integrations.

The Event Destinations Initiative puts a name and guidelines in the direction the industry is moving. Webhooks have maximum flexibility but suffer from poor performance, DX, security and costs. Stripe, Shopify & Twilio to name a few shows us we can do a lot better!

Data from Shopify's Black Friday webhook performance. ~50B webhooks with latencies of p50=1s, avg=2s, p99=7s. Three latency spikes (400% for 2-5min each). Rock-solid since 11/30 14:00 UTC. This is what reliability at scale looks like. The team deserves praise!

Dealing with Firefox CSS issues makes me wonder for how long we'll keep doing this with plummeting market share 🤔
