Stop Writing Webhook Boilerplate in Spring Boot
Developers often face repetitive tasks when implementing webhooks in Spring Boot applications, such as setting up HTTP clients, retry logic, and HMAC signing. A new open-source library called spring-webhook-sender simplifies this process by providing a starter that handles these concerns automatically. The library supports async dispatch, circuit breaking, audit logging, and customizable configurations out of the box.
- ▪The spring-webhook-sender library is a Spring Boot 3.x starter that automates common webhook implementation tasks.
- ▪It supports HMAC-SHA256 signing, retry with exponential backoff, HTTP 429 handling, per-endpoint circuit breakers, and non-blocking async dispatch.
- ▪Users can extend the library by plugging in custom audit logging, signing strategies, or JSON formatting via dependency injection.
- ▪The library requires Java 17+ and Spring Boot 3.2+, with sensible defaults and optional configuration through application.yml.
- ▪Webhook events are sent with standardized JSON payloads including event ID, type, timestamp, and data.

You wire up an HTTP client, implement HMAC signing, add retry logic, bolt on a circuit breaker, set up an async thread pool, and somehow fit audit logging in too, before you've even written a single line of business logic.
