I know (from our customers) that some of their customers make buying decisions based on the availability of webhooks. I'm unaware of anyone doing it based on the availability of our other functionality (but it could be I just don't have the data).

Though the data I do have: how many people adopt these advanced endpoints in practice (as we offer these), and it's less than webhooks.

Interesting. There’s probably a market for the consumer side of that, then: really easy-to-integrate-with-common-app-frameworks-and-hosting-platforms runtimes that provide a polling/socketful event consumer and sidestep all the concerns that come with scaling webhooks on the consumer side. Your company looks like it helps with those concerns a lot! But if HTTP webhooks are the lingua franca, there’s only so much I can do as a consumer of them per TFA, you know?
