Ingress for external environments: customer’s developer environments

ngrok brings secure ingress for dev/test environments equipping developers to effortlessly test and preview applications and APIs.

Challenge

Connecting to customer developer systems is a challenge

Frictionless connectivity is critical for SaaS marketplace offerings where developers can publish their applications or a SaaS solution that needs to integrate into developer environments. Unfortunately, developers face significant hurdles in establishing network access to these platforms. This typically involves complex routing and firewall configurations, forcing them to constantly keep switching context between their development environment and setting up and maintaining connectivity with the platform, impacting productivity.

Solution

Embed connectivity into software deployed on developer machines

Embed secure ingress into your agent, CLI, or SDK so end user developers can connect to your platform instantly with just one command.

‍

  • No need to spend cycles changing network configurations on firewalls, proxies, and gateways
  • White label ngrok for consistent look and feel
  • No more context switching for your developer customers
