Summary

Ngrok has introduced two new primitives, internal endpoints, and the forward-internal action, to enhance its traffic routing capabilities, enabling users to create flexible routing topologies based on various request attributes like headers, paths, and subdomains. Internal endpoints are secure, non-public endpoints that facilitate routing traffic through the forward-internal action, allowing users to manage traffic flows without exposing services to the public internet. This advancement addresses the challenges of traffic orchestration by allowing path-based, domain-based, header-based, and geolocation-based routing, which can be configured through ngrok's Traffic Policy module. These features are particularly beneficial for use cases such as self-service app delivery, centralized security management for developer environments, on-demand public addressability, and live traffic debugging. The new primitives are aimed at providing more security and flexibility in traffic management, and they are available through ngrok's pay-as-you-go plan, with detailed guidance provided in their developer documentation.
