Ngrok is a versatile tool that enables the creation of HTTP tunnels, providing a public URL with redirection to a specified port on your local machine. This is particularly useful for developers working on local servers, such as Spring applications. With Ngrok, tunnels created with the free version are available for up to 2 hours, making it an excellent choice for development and testing purposes.
In addition to its tunneling capabilities, Ngrok offers a Unified Ingress Platform for developers. It combines features such as reverse proxy, firewall, API gateway, and global load balancing to streamline the delivery of applications and APIs.
