Sunsetting Deploy Hooks

[afawcett]

Webhooks are a more secure, reliable, and powerful alternative to Deploy Hooks, and five years ago, we made app webhooks Generally Available. Today, we are deprecating Deploy Hooks and encouraging customers to migrate to app webhooks.

I loved Deploy Hooks and was using it extensively. Since it was lacking some features (I wanted to get notified on app changes other than deployments) I built the Activity To Go Heroku add-on as an alternative. Under the hood, and thanks to the great help of the Heroku team, it uses the secure and reliable webhooks infrastructure provided by Heroku. It can also be attached to multiple apps.

I hope this helps Heroku users ease the sunset of Deploy Hooks.

@afawcett - We just added a feature that provides the same event payload as Heroku deploy hooks, so it would make it way easier for Heroku deploy hook users to migrate with a minimal effort.

Hope this helps.
