Self-hosted webhook operations: receive, inspect, route, replay, and diagnose deliveries on your own infrastructure.

You need Git, Docker, and Erlang/OTP + Elixir (see .tool-versions).

git clone git@github.com:jenksed/switchyard.git
cd switchyard
bin/setup        # starts PostgreSQL, installs deps, migrates, builds assets
bin/dev          # serves http://localhost:4000

Open http://localhost:4000 and click Create an endpoint. bin/setup is safe to run repeatedly.

Port clash? If 5432 is taken:

POSTGRES_PORT=55432 docker compose up -d db
export POSTGRES_PORT=55432

Switchyard is a control point for the webhooks hitting your services. It sits between providers and your apps so you can see exactly what arrived, decide where it goes, and fix what broke.

• Capture everything — exact bytes, malformed bodies, empty payloads, binary uploads. No request is silently dropped.
• Inspect live — watch events stream in, inspect headers and body, with secrets masked by default.
• Route intentionally — draft immutable routing versions with match/skip/label/send/stop actions, or fall back to fan-out.
• Deliver safely — remote HTTPS destinations or localhost via an authenticated WebSocket relay. Private networks are never dialed from the server.
• Replay & recover — retry, replay, or cancel deliveries. Full durable attempt history survives restarts.
• Operate as a team — workspaces, role-based access, audit trail, encrypted secrets, and shareable evidence links.
• Automate — stable REST API v1, switchyard CLI, SSE event streaming, and sanitized JSON/Markdown/HTML receipts.
• Run anywhere — one non-root, read-only application image across dev, single-node team, and multi-node team profiles.

1. Create an endpoint; copy the ingest URL.
2. Send any HTTP request to the ingest URL and watch it appear live.
3. Route it with an immutable draft, dry-run against a captured event, then activate.
4. Forward to a remote destination or run a local relay:

   mix switchyard.relay --server ws://localhost:4000 --token rel_… --target http://127.0.0.1:PORT

5. Fail & replay — repair the receiver and replay; the full history is preserved.
6. Export a sanitized receipt for your incident log.

For a complete walkthrough see docs/quickstart.md.

• PostgreSQL is the source of truth. PubSub only carries notifications.
• At-least-once delivery. Duplicates are possible; exactly-once is not claimed.
• Durable work runs on Oban — nothing important lives only in memory.
• Localhost delivery goes through the relay so the server never dials private networks.
• Thin web layer; domain contexts own behavior.

See docs/adr/ for the full architectural reasoning.

Three profiles share one immutable application image:

Full details: docs/v0.9/PROFILES.md. Operational runbooks live at docs/runbooks/.

mix check        # format, compile (warnings as errors), Credo, security, tests
mix check.all    # everything above plus Dialyzer
bin/verify-v0.9  # full v0.9 operator exit gate

Release gates chain their predecessors, so bin/verify-v0.9 re-proves the complete tree.

The v0.9 tested-limits record (docs/v0.9/TESTED_LIMITS.md) includes a full two-hour soak at 19.74 events/s sustained on Apple M1 Pro / PostgreSQL 17.
