Summary

Ngrok has launched a composable API gateway designed to enhance API delivery by placing control in the hands of developers while still adhering to security and governance policies. This API gateway builds upon the existing ngrok platform by adding features such as traffic routing, JWT authentication, rate limiting, and request/response manipulation, all managed by a powerful Traffic Policy engine. Traditionally, API deployment has been complex, requiring collaboration between developers and operations teams, which can slow development and lead to security risks. Ngrok's solution accelerates development velocity by enabling developer self-service, reducing reliance on operational teams for API delivery, and eliminating configuration errors through embedded ingress. The gateway offers true environment independence by supporting multi-cloud, localhost, and CI environments, and operates on a pay-as-you-go model, only charging for successful API calls. With features like JWT-based authentication and rate limiting, ngrok simplifies and secures API delivery, empowering developers to innovate within operational guardrails and ensuring the stability and performance of APIs.
