Webhook Delivery
Built for Private Networks

Every other solution forces you to open ports, use VPNs, or manage complex infrastructure. Zen Mesh delivers webhooks to your internal services with zero network changes.

Why We Built Zen-Mesh

Three pain points we heard from companies building webhook integrations:

Complex & Expensive Stacks

Hookdeck + Tailscale, Svix + VPN, or build your own. Two products to manage, two billings, double the complexity.

2+ products · 2x cost · complex

Security Trade-offs

Direct to public endpoint means exposing internal services. VPNs require UDP or kernel modules. Nothing provides secured delivery paths by default.

open ports · UDP · VPN

Developer Time Waste

Building retry logic, scaling, monitoring, security from scratch. Months of work for something that should just work.

DIY · months · maintenance

Zen Mesh Solves All Three

One product. Outbound-only. Secure by default.

What We Built

Zen Mesh combines security, delivery, and operations features that usually require multiple products:

🛡

Outbound-Only Architecture

Your services connect OUT to our edge. No inbound ports needed. Works behind NAT, firewall, VPN — anywhere.

  • No firewall rules
  • No UDP exposure
  • No VPN required
  • No kernel modules
🔒

Webhook Signature Verification

HMAC-SHA256 built-in for all webhooks. Verify every payload from Stripe, GitHub, and any other provider.

  • HMAC-SHA256 verification
  • Per-provider secrets
  • Idempotency-based dedup
  • Fail-closed design
🛡

Defense-in-Depth Security

Multiple layers of security on every connection. Not optional — built-in by default.

  • mTLS on all internal paths
  • SPIFFE/SPIRE workload identity
  • Application-layer tenant isolation
  • ZenLock secrets management
☁

Cloud-Native Infrastructure

Built on Kubernetes with GitOps. Enterprise-grade without the enterprise complexity.

  • Helm-based deployment
  • GitOps ready
  • Auto-scaling
  • CloudEvents format
⚡

High-Performance Transport

Fast and reliable delivery. Designed for teams that need secure webhook delivery to private infrastructure.

  • Low-latency design (internal validation)
  • Binary protocol
  • Streaming support
🎯

Cloud Data Plane

Cloud-based data plane on Kubernetes. Built for scale and reliability from day one.

  • Kubernetes-native (any cloud)
  • Auto-scaling with HPA & KEDA
  • High availability design
  • Crossplane-powered provisioning
📦

Direct Delivery

Webhooks never touch our SaaS. Flow directly from edge to your cluster.

  • Bypasses SaaS
  • Direct delivery
  • Data sovereignty
  • No third-party data exposure
🛠

Built-In Features

Things other companies charge extra for — we include from day one.

  • Shared static public ingress
  • Certificate rotation with canary
  • Dead letter queue & replay
  • Audit logging with hash chain
🎯

Provider Template Packs

Starting with Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Twilio, and custom signed webhooks. Pre-built packages for common webhook sources accelerate setup.

  • Stripe webhooks
  • GitHub webhooks
  • Signature verification
  • Event deduplication
