EventSync: Pull‑Based Event API for Serverless

Developers building event‑driven, serverless stacks are frustrated by webhook‑only integrations that force them to maintain extra infrastructure. EventSync converts those webhooks into a simple, pull‑based /events endpoint, letting teams retrieve change events on demand with minimal setup and zero webhook maintenance.

You can perform your own lookup to these data APIs to confirm the source of truth in your own data

That might seem like a lot of work, but that's what tooling is for. Webhooks are complicated to handle reliably, but it's a problem that has good tools the same way sequin (and many others) is helping developers solve the replication problem.For webhooks, hookdeck
