What Is A Webhook - Why Is It Key To Headless Architectures?

#Webhooks are talked about a lot in Headless Architectures but what are they? If you are a technologist and have been working with Mach technology, you will no doubt know about webhooks, but not everyone e has had that experience and I know there are many of you about there quietly nodding wondering what the hell are we techies talking about.

Webhooks are fundamental to Mach architectures and #HeadlessEcommerce and when we built #Amplience we made webhooks a key feature of the CMS, it was a great decision that's helped us and customs do all kinds of cool integrations this video won't delve that deep into webhooks integrations but it should give you enough to participate in the conversation.

let me know what you think and if you would like me to go deeper in future videos

I've been looking for a clear explanation of how WebHooks work and how they can be used, and this video delivered exactly that. The author did a great job of explaining the concept in a concise and easy-to-understand way. Many thanks!

A complicated subject is explained in a very simple, concise yer in style, very well presented too. It is very comfortable watch too.

A very good quality content. Simple and concise. Thank you!

Passed through about 7 videos and none of them explained what the heck was the problem Webhooks solve, you did. Your explanation is clear and calm, but not too much to allow me to distract. Thank you! ✨

[juanquijuliaoable]

Thank you for the information sir, on point.

thanks for this video! one suggestion is to lower the music volume as it is very distracting.

So instead of an external program requesting information at regular intervals, the web hook exists internally and upon a condition send that information to the external system for greater efficiency. Correct?

[Tawelch]

Appreciate this (and your other videos) as I find them very informative. I did have a question here specifically though- this sounds awfully like Kafka events, does this mean Kafka is simply a type of Webhook?

[jdang]

Should we write our own webhook service or use the service from the webhook providers?
