WORKFLOWS

Local Development & Integration Scenarios

Bridge the gap between external services and your localhost. WebhookLab handles incoming requests from Stripe, GitHub Actions, and custom CI/CD pipelines, routing them directly to your development machine.

Stripe Checkout Webhooks

Validate `invoice.paid` and `customer.subscription.updated` events locally. WebhookLab verifies Stripe signatures using your `whsec_` secret and forwards the exact raw body to `http://localhost:3000/stripe/events`.

Microservice Event Routing

Test asynchronous communication between your Node.js order service and Go inventory service. Capture Kafka-to-HTTP bridge payloads, inspect headers, and trigger idempotency checks with a single click.

Third-Party API Debugging

Diagnose failing callbacks from Twilio, SendGrid, and AWS EventBridge. Replay failed requests with modified JSON bodies to reproduce race conditions and timeout errors without reconfiguring vendor dashboards.

DEVOPS & TOOLING

Engineer-Grade Debugging Tools

Integrate WebhookLab directly into your terminal and CI/CD pipelines. Designed for engineers who need deterministic testing, not guesswork.

CLI Tunnel Management

Run `webhooklab tunnel --port 8080 --path /api/v1/hooks` to create a persistent, encrypted channel. Automatically generates unique subdomains like `alpha-7x9k.webhooklab.dev` for team sharing.

Request Replay & Mutation

Clone any captured request, swap `application/json` payloads, inject custom `X-Request-ID` headers, and re-fire against your local stack. Supports batch replay for load testing edge cases.

Signature Verification Engine

Built-in HMAC-SHA256 validation for GitHub, GitLab, and Shopify webhooks. Logs verification failures with timestamp deltas and raw header dumps to eliminate silent drops.
