We have constant autoscaling issues because of this in GCP - glad someone plotted this - hope people in GCP will pay a bit more attention to this. Thanks to the OP!

I ditched Superhuman for Simplify: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simplify-gmail/pbm...

It’s cheaper and pretty much the same features without the bugs of Superhuman.

Finally a webhook as a service done right! I've been watching Hookdeck's progress closely and I'm super impressed with what they managed to achieve especially on the CLI side recently. It's exactly what you need to setup a webhook service in development and then seamlessly transition to a full-blown production app with 1000s rps without changing anything.

I've build webhook systems myself in the past and there are so so many issues that you don't think about at first that are difficult to solve correctly like staggering retries, routing, logging is a big one! Really happy that there is now a great service for this. Nice work!

Given other comments in this post, I think at this point it's not safe to assume that.

Most watch users including myself disable those notifications fairly soon after the initial use.

Right now I use my watch for alarms (for sleep), pager duty alerts and fitness/sleep/health related stuff.

No.

Instead of creating some sort of government/non-profit censorship API and giving up the controls to content censorship, they are playing this censor role that will never have an end. Nobody will ever be satisfied. If they were smart they would say something like the ISPs: Hey, we're just providing the infra, we don't control the content and point the finger at the government.

Is it really profitable to have this information flow controller? Don't they just want to sell ads?

Look, I know it's not that simple. But why not do this?

While these ideas (imperative vs sync, immutability + idempotency) a great in theory, I have yet to see anyone putting them in practice while still keeping a great developer experience - that includes Zapier. I guess Stripe is doing this more or less well?

I just wish people implemented their webhook systems well (a popular standard would be nice as well) - REST is fine, it mostly works and it's pretty standard.
