The backend for the webhooks you receive

Catching the webhook is the easy part.

Verify it, keep it as a queryable record, run JavaScript when it lands, and replay it when something downstream breaks — from one SDK.

Stripe, Shopify, Clerk, Resend, or any HMAC sender. Bring your own auth and frontend.

A Stripe charge.succeeded webhook is signature-verified and stored in a durable buffer that replay re-enters. A Centrali JavaScript function then calls an external fulfillment API and writes a row to the orders collection, with the arrival, the run, and the call tied together in one Event Log by correlation id.

Pick the closest fit

Each links to a deeper guide or landing page with code, examples, and a template you can ship.

Ingest Stripe events

Land Stripe webhooks as queryable records and join them with your own data in a single query.

Ingest GitHub webhooks

Receive pushes, PRs, and issues as typed records. Search history, replay failures, react with JavaScript.

Verify webhook senders with Clerk

Authenticate webhook sources and route events with auth context — without bolting on a separate auth layer.

Also sending webhooks?

The other direction is built too — signed HMAC delivery, configurable retries, a dead-letter queue, and per-delivery logs.

FAQ

Common questions

Questions developers ask while evaluating Centrali.

What is Centrali?

Centrali is the backend for the webhooks you receive. Point Stripe, Shopify, Clerk, Resend, or any HMAC sender at a Centrali endpoint: events are signature-verified, durably buffered, and stored as queryable records you can run JavaScript against and replay later. Centrali also sends signed outbound webhooks to your own customers, when you need that too.

What can I receive webhooks from?

Anything that sends a webhook. Centrali validates signatures from common providers like Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, and Clerk out of the box, and lets you add custom verification for anything else. Events land as typed records you can query, search, and react to.

What do I get out of the box?

A signed inbound endpoint, a database, search, retries, delivery logs, replay, and a console UI to see all of it. You write JavaScript for the parts that need logic — everything else is already wired up.

Do I bring my own database, auth, or frontend?

Auth and customer-facing frontend, yes — Centrali works with any auth provider (Clerk, Auth0, custom) and any frontend stack for your app. For internal dashboards over your records and events, Pages (in beta) is built in, so you don't need a second frontend project just to see your data. Database: no, Centrali stores your data in its own collections so the SDK, search, and webhook records all live in one place.
