In this episode, I spoke with Alex Bouchard, co-founder and CTO of Hookdeck, to learn more about Hookdeck and how it differs from Amazon EventBridge.

This episode contains a live demo of Hookdeck, for the best viewing experience, please watch the recording on YouTube here.

Alex gave me a demo of Hookdeck, which has some nice features for addressing common developer experience problems with EventBridge. For example:
