Realtime events and webhooks, out of the box

Subscribe to document changes in the browser and fan out events to your own HTTP endpoints.

Realtime and webhooks are first-class in PaperDB — not add-ons behind a paywall on day one.

Realtime

Issue a scoped token from your backend, connect from the client, and subscribe per collection. The dashboard includes a live event log for debugging.

Webhooks

Register URLs for document.created, document.updated, and document.deleted. Deliveries are retried with signatures you can verify.

See the realtime guide and webhooks guide.
