But the complexity doesn't disappear. It moves.

"You're trading complexity for complexity. With webhooks you either scale up, use a tool like Hookdeck to dedupe, or build the logic yourself. You're just choosing where to put it." @JordanFinners

It will also be interesting to see what impact this change has on the wider industry.

@StripeDev quietly stopped calling them webhooks two years ago. Shopify is doing the same now — Next Generation Events, not webhooks.

[Hookdeck @Hookdeck]

With the planned new setup, webhook payloads now live in the same schema universe as the GraphQL Admin API.

No more translation layers between two shapes of the same data. Years of duplicated ecosystem code, gone.

Some Shopify app devs drop 95% of the webhooks they receive.

Last week @ShopifyDevs announced their solution, and it's the biggest change to their webhooks in a decade.

We got @TRPage_dev, @JordanFinners, and @heysandy801 on a call to get their reactions.

Catch up on what's changing and what it means for you 🧵

It's a key change because as @heysandy801 says, "Half of our AWS bill is just consuming webhooks. If Shopify is telling me I can bring that down by 50–75%... that's like somebody giving me money for free."

[Hookdeck @Hookdeck]

Next Gen Events, currently in developer preview, flips the typical webhook subscription model. You declare:
— what happened (action)
— the conditions you care about (trigger)
— the GraphQL shape you want delivered (query)

Wide Event last night was a blast, filled with sharp conversations and insights. Somehow we even had lobster on the menu 😅

I'm proud @Hookdeck can support this community, and big thanks to @DsMatie. These things don't happen by accident.
