## What it is
The legacy GitHub Services integration codebase that allowed third-party services to receive GitHub event payloads. It was deprecated in 2018 in favor of GitHub Apps and webhooks and no longer accepts new features.

## Use cases
- integrate github events with third-party services
- understand legacy github service integrations
- maintain an old github service hook
- migrate from github services to webhooks
- reference how github delivered event payloads to services

## When to choose
- you must maintain or patch an existing legacy GitHub Service integration
- you need historical reference for how GitHub Services delivered payloads

## When to avoid
- you are building a new GitHub integration - use GitHub Apps or webhooks instead
- you need supported, maintained integration tooling
- you expect new features or bug fixes from upstream

## Facets

- maturity: abandoned
- function: webhook, middleware, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, apis
