## What it is
Convoy is an open-source, high-performance webhooks gateway for reliably ingesting, persisting, debugging, and delivering webhook events at scale. It provides retries, fan-out, rate limiting, payload signing, and security features, deployable self-hosted or via Convoy Cloud.

## Use cases
- deliver webhooks reliably to customer endpoints with retries
- receive provider webhooks and route them to internal services
- fan out events to multiple endpoints by event type
- secure webhook delivery with signing, mTLS, and static IPs
- debug and inspect webhook payloads
- replace building an in-house webhooks system
- expose internal microservices without public internet exposure

## When to choose
- you send or receive webhooks at scale and need guaranteed delivery with retries and backoff
- you want a self-hosted or cloud webhook gateway instead of building one internally
- you need fan-out, rate limiting, circuit breaking, and payload signing out of the box
- your internal systems must not be exposed to the public internet

## When to avoid
- you only need simple one-off webhook sending with no delivery guarantees
- you need a fully permissive OSS license - Convoy uses Elastic License 2.0 with paid Premium features
- you need a general-purpose message queue rather than webhook-specific delivery
- you require SAML SSO or RBAC without a paid license
