IBM MQ vs. Hookdeck

IBM MQ connects applications and microservices in private datacenters, across hybrid or multi-cloud environments, and at the edge of the enterprise. It allows businesses, from large enterprises to startups, to ensure every order, every payment, and every customer interaction counts. Messages between applications are delivered reliably once-and-only-once and applications are decoupled to enable rapid response to sudden traffic increases or system outages.

Hookdeck is a fast and reliable event gateway for receiving, processing, and delivering asynchronous messages. It centralizes and streamlines communication between services – external providers (e.g. Shopify), internal endpoints (e.g. APIs), and any combination thereof. Configure Hookdeck platform resources and features such as event routing, filters, and transformations. And let Hookdeck automatically retry failed events for painless error recovery. Our developer tooling enables teams to build, deploy, operate, and observe their event-driven applications with confidence.
