Case Study: Brex achieves reliable, enterprise-ready webhooks with Svix

Brex powers real-time webhooks at scale with Svix and a $12bn platform

Brex, an all-in-one spend management platform, faced the challenge of meeting customer demand for real-time API updates without the performance strain and poor developer experience caused by constant polling. They needed a reliable webhooks solution but realized building it in-house would be complex and require significant ongoing maintenance. This led them to seek an external vendor and evaluate Svix.

By implementing the Svix webhooks service, Brex gained a mature, enterprise-ready solution with essential features like retries, visibility, and security. The results were significant; Svix provided top-tier reliability with no incidents, enabled a fast time to market, and freed the Brex team from infrastructure maintenance to focus on new capabilities. The partnership with Svix allowed Brex to power real-time financial operations for their customers at scale.
