VERDICT

Should I use Codehooks?

Serverless JavaScript backend: database, APIs, webhooks and cron in one - codehooks.io

Depends. Buy if you are an indie JS developer or hobbyist who wants a fast all-in-one backend with webhooks and a free tier. Do not buy if you need a funded, enterprise-ready vendor or a hardened security track record.

Confidence

Low. Based on 40+ public sources; most are thin or truncated aggregator snippets, so confidence is low.

Handy serverless backend for indie JS devs; tiny vendor ($1K ARR) and a 2025 MCP-server CVE make it risky for critical production use.
