Secure connectivity to dev/test is hard

We’ve all been there! As a developer, you waste a lot of time and effort tweaking firewall settings and routing configurations when we want to:

‍

  • Test integration with webhook providers and
    external APIs
  • Preview websites and applications with fellow
    team members
  • Test and validate mobile backends
solution

Connect to dev/test with just one command 

Serve apps and APIs securely from localhost or your dev/test/sandbox environment with just one command or one line of code.

‍

  • No need to spend cycles changing network configurations on firewalls, proxies, and gateways
  • Share apps with teammates instantly
  • Reproduce HTTP and webhook requests with a single click

Verifying PagerDuty Webhooks with ngrok
PagerDuty provides a shared secret with their webhooks so consumers can ensure the event's authenticity. Normally, verifying this secret requires a multiple step process implemented through your application code. This post will show how you can easily validate PagerDuty webhooks without making any changes to your code using ngrok's webhook verification feature.
