About
Ploq is webhook infrastructure: the plumbing that lets any product reliably push events out to its users' endpoints. Building this well from scratch is deceptively hard. Teams end up hand-rolling retry logic, backoff, delivery logs, signature verification, and some way to notice when a customer's endpoint has been silently failing for days. Ploq handles all of that as a managed service, with per-event-type filtering so subscribers only get what they actually asked for. It's built entirely on European infrastructure with no US hyperscaler anywhere in the stack, so GDPR and data-sovereignty requirements are a non-issue rather than a blocker to work around later. Just as important: it meets developers where they already work instead of forcing everyone onto a raw HTTP API. There's a Node.js SDK with Express middleware, a Java SDK with a Spring Boot starter that auto-verifies incoming webhooks, a WordPress plugin that turns 25+ WooCommerce and WordPress events into webhooks with a checkbox and no code, and a forkable Mac/Windows desktop app for sending and receiving webhook events directly, useful when there's no public endpoint to receive on. A free tier means anyone can try the whole thing before committing to anything.
