IoT & Connected Devices

Handle device event bursts without losing data.

Smart sensors, connected machinery, and IoT gateways generate high-frequency events. GetHook accepts them at scale, persists them durably, and delivers reliably to your cloud backend.

The problem

Why raw webhooks aren't enough.

The HTTP webhook protocol has no persistence, no retries, and no observability — and it shows.

Cloud backend cannot absorb event bursts

100 sensors all fire threshold_exceeded at once. Your cloud backend is not designed for 100 simultaneous writes. Without buffering, events are dropped. Without those events, you miss a critical equipment failure.

Events lost during network partitions

An IoT gateway loses connectivity to the cloud for 30 seconds. Events generated during that window are gone. You have a gap in your sensor history that makes anomaly detection unreliable.

No visibility into which device events failed

A device sends 500 telemetry events. Your time-series database accepted 487 of them. Which 13 failed? Without a delivery log, you cannot identify gaps in your sensor data.

How it works

Three steps to reliable iot & connected devices webhooks.

From raw HTTP POST to guaranteed delivery — set up in under 10 minutes.

01

Point devices at the ingest endpoint

Configure your IoT gateway or device firmware to POST events to the GetHook ingest URL. GetHook acknowledges in <50ms — devices don't wait for backend processing.

terminal
POST /ingest/src_iot_gateway_token
{ "event_type": "sensor.threshold_exceeded", "payload": { "device_id": "dev_007", "metric": "temperature", "value": 98.6, "unit": "celsius" } }
02

Route events to backend and alert systems

Route sensor.* to your time-series database, device.alert.* to your PagerDuty alert, and * to your analytics pipeline. GetHook rate-limits delivery to what your backend can handle.

terminal
POST /v1/routes
{ "event_type_pattern": "sensor.*",       "destination_id": "dest_timeseries" }
{ "event_type_pattern": "device.alert.*", "destination_id": "dest_pagerduty" }
{ "event_type_pattern": "*",              "destination_id": "dest_analytics" }
03

Replay gaps in sensor history

Need to backfill a time-series gap or reprocess telemetry through a new ML model? Replay historical device events from the persistent event store.

terminal
GET /v1/events?source_id=src_iot_…&from=2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
# Returns all device events in the time range
# POST /v1/events/{id}/replay to reprocess
Benefits

Everything you need for iot & connected devices.

Absorb event bursts

GetHook ingests events asynchronously. Device events are queued immediately regardless of backend capacity — no dropped events during burst periods.

Sub-50ms ingest acknowledgement

Devices get a 200 OK in under 50ms p99. They can move on to the next reading without waiting for backend processing.

Survive network partitions

Events are persisted to Postgres at ingest time. Network issues between GetHook and your backend trigger retry — events are not lost.

Route by event severity

Route device.alert.critical to PagerDuty, normal telemetry to time-series DB, and everything to analytics — using event type patterns.

Complete device event history

Every device event is stored with full payload and delivery status. Query the event log to audit device behavior or fill data gaps.

Replay for ML reprocessing

Train a new anomaly detection model? Replay historical sensor events through the new model without re-triggering the physical sensors.
