"Every packet of data deserves a delivery guarantee."
WireVault is a zero-loss webhook delivery engine built for developers who refuse to let events disappear into the void. Inspired by the philosophy of Redis — minimal, fast, indestructible — WireVault gives you a persistent, observable, and replayable layer in front of your webhook endpoints.
Think of it as tail -f for your integrations, with automatic retries baked in.
When Stripe fires a payment.succeeded event and your server is down, that event is gone. When a PayPal IPN hits during a deploy, it's gone. WireVault catches everything, stores it durably, retries with exponential backoff, and lets you replay any event at any time.
Stripe → POST /v1/ingest/my-vault → [202 in <5ms] → PostgreSQL → Dispatcher → Your Server
↓
Retry: 1m → 5m → 15m → 1h → 6h → 12h
- Zero-loss ingestion — 202 Accepted in under 5ms, persistence is async
- Exponential backoff — 6 retry stages before marking as permanently failed
- Virtual Threads — Java 21 Project Loom for massive concurrency, tiny footprint
- GIN-indexed JSONB — Google-style search inside webhook payloads
- Live dashboard — WebSocket-powered terminal UI,
tail -fstyle - REPLAY command — Re-send any webhook on demand, instantly
- Prometheus metrics — Throughput counter out of the box
- Native-ready — GraalVM native compilation for <50ms startup
