Summary

ngrok has released two new products, Cloud Edge and Secure Tunnels, as part of its transformation from a single developer tool to a powerful development platform. Cloud Edge enables developers to deploy pre-packaged functionality in front of their applications at ngrok's network edge with a single command, offering features such as authentication, automated TLS certificates, resiliency, observability, acceleration, and load balancing. Secure Tunnels connects the ngrok cloud to your application, providing role-based access control, per-agent authtokens, audit logs, and remote termination. The ngrok platform is completely programmable, with a scriptable CLI, native API client libraries, a first-party terraform provider, and programmable events that allow developers to integrate ngrok into their existing workflows seamlessly. Additionally, the company has released a new major version (v3) of its agent and completed its first SOC2 audit, while also shifting its pricing to better match product boundaries and capabilities.
