Prompt
What should I use to transform webhook payloads before forwarding them?
Latest observation
A good default is to use a small webhook relay/proxy service or an API gateway with transformation rules before forwarding.
Common options:
-
Serverless function (AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, Azure Functions)
Best if you need custom logic, validation, enrichment, or signing. -
API gateway / reverse proxy (Kong, Apigee, NGINX, Tyk)
Good for simple field mapping, header changes, auth, and routing. -
Webhook automation tools (Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n)
Useful if you want low-code transformations and integrations. -
Custom middleware app
Best when you need full control, higher throughput, or complex business rules.
If you want the simplest robust choice:
- For light transformations: API gateway / proxy
- For anything non-trivial: serverless function or a small custom service
If you tell me your stack and what kind of transformation you need, I can suggest the best specific tool.
