Switchyard receives events from webhooks, MQTT and log streams, filters and transforms them with small rules, and routes them onward — to notifications, scripts, dashboards or other services.

Worth knowing before you commit:

  • Rules are plain text files: versionable, reviewable, portable.
  • Back-pressure handling keeps a noisy source from drowning the rest.
  • A dry-run mode shows where an event would go before it goes there.

The plumbing between services that were never designed to meet.
