About
ngrok is a cloud networking platform that functions as an AI and API gateway, providing secure tunnels, traffic routing, transformation, and observability for services running in any environment. It replaces a patchwork of tools like nginx, VPNs, and load balancers with a single unified gateway. Developers use it to expose local services, manage API traffic, and connect services across clouds without opening firewall ports.
Problem
Teams struggle to manage a fragmented stack of networking tools—nginx, VPNs, load balancers, and CDNs—to securely route and expose services running across different environments.
For
software developers and engineering teams
How it works
A lightweight agent or native SDK is installed alongside any service, establishing an encrypted tunnel to ngrok's global cloud network, which then handles routing, authentication, traffic policies, and observability.
