Bring Your Own Database (BYODB)
“BYODB” uses WebhookDB Cloud, but you provide the database that data is replicated to, rather than using one of our shared database hosts.
- Webhooks are sent to our servers.
- Any API keys you provide are stored in our application database.
- We write all API data to your database. We still store some data for our job and retry system, but everything else resides in your database. You provide us a connection with write access to a particular database or schema.
This is a good option for customers who benefit from the better latency of running their own database, but do not want to operate WebhookDB themselves.
We do not yet offer self-serve BYODB setup, since it requires you provision a database user with the right permissions, and can be tricky to get right. Please email hello@webhookdb.com if you would like to get set up with BYODB.
In the meantime, you can start on [WebhookDB Cloud](/docs/operating-webhookdb/cloud-hosted.html and we can migrate to your database when you’re ready (migrations are lossless and zero-downtime).
