Verne Relay · Webhooks-as-a-Service

Reliable Webhook Delivery Infrastructure for B2B & Micro-SaaS

Relay handles your queues, retry policies, and endpoint security. A scalable, event-driven architecture with zero maintenance required. Integrate in exactly 5 minutes.

curl -X POST https://api.vernesoft.com/v1/relay/events \

  -d '{"event_type":"user.created","endpoint_id":"ep_123"}'

The In-house Trap

Why Engineers Don't Build Webhook Infrastructure from Scratch

Sending a simple POST request is only 5% of the work. The real problems begin when your client's receiving server goes down, network jitter occurs, and your event counter crosses the one-million mark.

In-House Implementation

  • Manual implementation of queues and Exponential Backoff (Redis/RabbitMQ).
  • Vulnerability to payload spoofing — requires custom HMAC implementation.
  • No dashboard for customer support: developers must dig through logs to find missing payloads.
  • High overhead for worker maintenance and infrastructure monitoring.

Verne Software Relay

  • Smart retries with customizable intervals out-of-the-box.
  • Built-in cryptographic signature for every outgoing event.
  • Visual audit interface: both you and your clients see the exact status of every attempt.
  • 99.99% Uptime with zero maintenance.

Core Features

Architecture Engineered for High Loads

Guaranteed Delivery (Smart Retries)

Built-in Exponential Backoff. If a client's server responds with a 5xx error or times out, Relay automatically queues the event and retries on a configurable schedule.

Absolute Security (Signature Verification)

Zero spoofing. Every outgoing event is cryptographically signed (HMAC SHA-256). Your clients can verify payload authenticity via the Verne-Signature header.

Uncompromising Performance

Relay's core is built on Rust, guaranteeing sub-millisecond internal latency, memory-safe execution, and graceful handling of massive traffic spikes.

Fan-out Routing

Send a single event (e.g. user.created) to our API gateway and Relay will instantly dispatch it to dozens of different client endpoints simultaneously.

Detailed Audit Logs

Complete transparency. We store request headers, full payloads, and exact server responses for effortless debugging directly within your management console.

Idempotency by Default

Protection against duplicate processing. Relay uses unique Event IDs, ensuring your clients never process the same webhook twice during network failures.

Nautilus Ecosystem

Part of the Unified Nautilus Ecosystem

Relay is designed as a powerful standalone product, but it unlocks its full potential in synergy with other Verne Software tools. Set up task triggers in Cron, securely manage access via Auth, and instantly deliver execution results through Relay. One billing portal, one account, and a unified standard of API excellence.

Integrate in Seconds

You don't need heavy SDKs. A standard HTTP request to our API with your project key is all it takes.

curl -X POST https://api.vernesoft.com/v1/relay/events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_NAUTILUS_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "event_type": "subscription.renewed",
    "endpoint_id": "ep_123456789",
    "payload": {
      "user_id": "usr_987",
      "plan": "pro_tier"
    }
  }'

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Relay ensure webhook security?

Relay automatically generates unique secrets for each endpoint and signs all outgoing requests using HMAC SHA-256. The signature is transmitted in the Verne-Signature header, which the receiving party uses to verify payload authenticity.

What happens if the recipient server is down?

Relay intercepts errors (timeouts, 429, 500–504 statuses) and queues the event. We use a customizable Exponential Backoff algorithm for retries (up to 10 attempts over 24 hours), preventing overload on recovering servers.

Can I use Relay for local development?

Yes. The platform provides built-in tools to forward events to local machines via the Nautilus CLI, making testing webhook integrations fast and seamless.
