Summary

ngrok is a solution that enables iPaaS and low-code automation vendors to provide connectivity to applications and services running on-prem or in customer VPCs without asking customers to make network changes. It allows teams to stitch together scripts, database queries, API calls—and direct interaction with an application through its web interface—to turn manual, one-off processes into repeatable, business-class operations. ngrok provides pre-built connectors for popular applications such as Jira, GitLab, and BitBucket, making it easy to integrate these resources into workflows. Additionally, ngrok's traffic policy engine allows for shaping the traffic that reaches the applications, APIs, and databases in customers' workflows, ensuring security, performance, and high availability. With its global load balancer features and robust delivery network, ngrok provides a comprehensive solution for building connectors to on-prem resources.
