Technology, Opinion and a side of Optimizely
If you’ve seen some of my recent posts you’ll know I’ve been playing around with WebHooks. These are simple HTTP requests to endpoints allowing services to exchange data and events.
Detailed content management requirements are often overlooked in the design and build of a content managed website. This can result in an implementation that lacks flexibility and incurs higher costs over its lifetime.
Spring is on its way (think daffodils and lambs) and so is Episerver’s next Developer Meetup.
I’ve released a few further tweaks to my RSS / ATOM add-on for Episerver – CHIEF2MORO.SyndicationFeeds.
WebHooks are a way of connecting internet / cloud services together. They allow websites to communicate with each other via HTTP callbacks. Services can subscribe (via HTTP) to receive notifications from publishers about a specific event. Publishers, manage these subscriptions and then on each event push notifcations via an HTTP Post to each receiver, at an endpoint defined during subscription.
