Why:

Closes: N/A

Hookdeck Console is now Hookdeck Inspect (https://hookdeck.com/changelog/hookdeck-inspect). The development section listed Console as a tool that exposes your local machine to the internet, which is what the Hookdeck CLI does; Inspect is a browser view of incoming payloads. The production section listed Hookdeck as a cloud function; it now describes Hookdeck Event Gateway as a webhook queuing service. The old Console link still works, so nothing is broken today.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Two sentences in content/apps/creating-github-apps/registering-a-github-app/using-webhooks-with-github-apps.md:

  • Development and testing: the Hookdeck Console link becomes the Hookdeck CLI, and a sentence adds Hookdeck Inspect's GitHub page for viewing payloads without running a server.
  • Production: Hookdeck is no longer listed as a cloud function. The sentence names Hookdeck Event Gateway as a webhook queuing service, matching how the webhooks best-practices and troubleshooting pages already describe Hookdeck.

Disclosure: I work at Hookdeck.

🟡 Changes recommended

An active documentation issue remains because Hookdeck Event Gateway is still misclassified as a cloud function instead of being separated from the Azure Functions and AWS Lambda examples.

File Summary
content/​apps/​creating-github-apps/​registering-a-github-app/​using-webhooks-with-github-apps.md Updates Hookdeck product names, descriptions, and links. The production wording should distinguish Hookdeck Event Gateway from the Azure Functions and AWS Lambda cloud-function examples.

Review effort: Lite

Keeps it separate from the cloud function examples, and matches how the
webhooks best-practices and troubleshooting pages describe Hookdeck.
