Stripe payment flows

Fintech startup · 4-person team

Replaced ngrok with a self-hosted Binboi relay to receive live Stripe checkout.session.completed events on localhost. Zero redeploys needed when switching between test and live mode keys.

"Stopped losing Stripe events mid-session when the tunnel dropped. Binboi reconnects automatically."

Clerk auth webhooks

SaaS product · solo developer

Wired Clerk's user.created and session.created events directly to a local Next.js API route. Used Binboi's request inspection to verify svix signatures and trace payload shape before writing the handler.

"Request inspection told me the payload structure before I wrote a single line of handler code."

GitHub Actions CI triggers

Open-source project · 2 maintainers

Exposed a local webhook receiver to GitHub's push events during workflow development. Iterating on handler logic without pushing a commit for every test cut the feedback loop from minutes to seconds.

"Cut 20-minute GitHub Actions feedback loops to under 30 seconds on localhost."

Supabase realtime dev

Agency · 8-person team

Ran Supabase database webhooks against a local Express handler to test row-level change events. Binboi's stable subdomain meant the Supabase hook URL never needed updating between sessions.

"The stable URL means we set the Supabase webhook once and never touch it again during dev."

Client demo environment

Freelancer · design & development

Shared a live localhost preview with clients using a named tunnel like client-preview.domain.com. No staging server, no deploy pipeline, just a tunnel to a local Next.js dev server running the latest build.

"Clients get a real URL, I get feedback on actual code instead of screenshots."

Internal tooling portal

Engineering team · 12 developers

Self-hosted Binboi on an internal VPS so developers can expose services to colleagues without touching the production VPN. Each developer gets named tunnels tied to their access token.

"Every dev on the team can share a live local service in 10 seconds. No VPN drama."
