How to Run Ngrok Using Java

What's this blog post about?

The article provides a step-by-step guide on how to run an Ngrok server using Java, allowing developers to expose their local servlet to the public web. The process begins with installing Ngrok and setting up a new Java project using Gradle. The developer then configures the servlet, creates a `web.xml` file, and sets up the build.gradle file. After that, they create a servlet class and start the HTTP servlet using the Gradle appRun task. Finally, they expose the servlet publicly on the web by running Ngrok with the http 8080 port and share the forwarding HTTPS URL to access the application. The article concludes by encouraging developers to explore more projects with Java and Twilio.
