Webhooks are automated, real-time data pushes (HTTP POSTs) from a source application to a designated URL when a specific event occurs.

Webhooks flip the API communication model: instead of constantly polling an endpoint for updates, a service pushes data to your server immediately upon an event trigger. This is an efficient, event-driven pattern. For example, when a customer pays an invoice, Stripe sends a JSON payload via an HTTP POST request to your pre-configured `https://yourdomain.com/payment-handler` URL. The payload contains all relevant transaction data, allowing your system to instantly log the payment, update the user’s account status, and trigger a confirmation email, all without wasting resources on unnecessary API calls. It’s a crucial component for building responsive, integrated systems (CI/CD, payment processing, chat notifications) that demand low-latency data exchange.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [The IDE is Dead. Vulcan Ships Our Code Now.](https://london.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_lcPJx56YCAU)

Vulcan is an autonomous AI dev system we built at a stealth startup. It orchestrates Claude Code agents on Mac Minis to execute parallelizable development plans, create PRs, and autonomously fix its own CI failures. We haven't opened an IDE in months. I'll walk through: the plan/phase architecture with dependency graphs for concurrent Claude instances, the worker daemon that spawns and manages Claude Code subprocesses, the self-healing CI loop (including BFS-based loop detection to stop infinite fixes), and how MCP tools let Claude manage its own PR lifecycle through our Django backend. Live demo: submitting a plan, workers claiming phases, CI breaking, and Vulcan fixing itself.

### [Post-Postman: Creative End-to-End API Testing with Generative AI](https://amsterdam.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_lBLnWhgMApA)

How can we use GenAI to help developers build and debug API's faster. In this lightning talk we will show what we've been prototyping at Fiberplane; an HTTP debugging tool using GenAI for payload suggestions and code prompts, friendly and hostile personas, and third party webhooks in order to squash bugs way earlier in the development cycle. Your code reviewer will wonder what shadow team you’ve secretly hired.
