Hey all, So, there has been a lot of talk about HTTP pubsub with Webhooks. But the assumption is that many existing web services will actually implement Webhook functionality. When I say 'implement', I am referring to the following:
- adding the feature to allow the creation of callback URLs to various events - creating the various types of events that you can associate callback URLs for - making a logic layer for triggering these events and assembling the appropriate event data to send to the callback URL The above three things seem to require a considerable effort from the average web developer. Is this assessment wrong? If so, are there any statistics on Webhook uptake in web services? If this assessment is sound, are there any open source projects in development which can provide web developers with an easy and intuitive way to provide the above three things so the Webhook ? Because the easier it is to do the three things above, the more popular HTTP pubsub (and in effect, PSHB protocol) will become, right? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Dhruv
