ngrok is one gateway for all your traffic.

So, time to introduce the new ngrok.com

For years we've helped you secure, transform, and route to services running anywhere. localhost to prod, APIs to AI models, devices in the field to databases in customer networks.

This week on Overcommitted, we got to sit down with Bluesky's favorite tech blogger @samwho.dev and it did not disappoint!

Sam makes some of the coolest tech content on the internet, and if you haven't heard from him yet, you should! Full episode out now: overcommitted.dev/interactive-...

Did you know that SWE-bench only tests how good models are at Python? Or the big drama around the FrontierMath benchmark? We didn't either! But now you will, because @samwho.dev put together an extensive explanation of 14 popular AI benchmarks.

Three ships coming soon we're excited about:

◆ region pinning for data residency
◆ similarly, dedicated IPs instead of our default range of multi-tenant IPs
◆ faster & more reliable certificate provisioning for ngrok/custom/wildcard domains ↓

A favorite beat on the new ngrok.com: We put ngrok on top of ngrok.com so you can ngrok while you learn about ngrok. If we're going to ask you to use us for anything, we better do it ourselves first, in prod, and also show our work.

We heard you like paging through dozens or hundreds of objects in API responses to find the one you want.

Just kidding, nobody's ever said that, so thank goodness that server-side filtering of the ngrok API is now GA.

An enjoyable look at how LLMs work under the hood from @samwho.dev. The whole chain of tokenizers (text chunks), embeddings (vectorized text chunks), transformers (the "T" in ChatGPT), caching (reused chunks), and all the math that goes into returning a response.

New post! ✨ Prompt caching ✨

My first big project post for @ngrok.com. 5 weeks, 12217 lines of code, 195 commits. I poured a lot into this one, and learned a lot in the process.

I really hope you enjoy it ❤️

Yesterday we launched ngrok.ai into early access. Today we're bringing you a deep dive into LLM internals with beautiful visuals crafted by our very own @samwho.dev. Discover exactly what gets cached to offer you 10x cheaper input tokens.

One gateway for every AI model. Change your baseURL and we handle routing, failover, key rotation, and more. Early access is open—and we're building the roadmap with you.

At ngrok, we embedded the OWASP Core Rule Set and Coraza into ngrok's own Traffic Policy engine, and then dogfooded it across 300M+ requests to ngrok.com. 🛡️

In this post, Ben Chan walks you through how we built (and battle-tested) ngrok’s WAF! ⚔️

Shape #1: The Database Gateway

Gateways aren’t just for APIs. This one lives between your users and the database you need to (securely) put online, offering mTLS, rate limiting, query filtering, and secrets support, all at the edge.

If your secrets live on a platform like HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Google Secret Manager, you may want to sync them into ngrok Vaults via the External Secrets Operator so your Traffic Policies reference a single, rotated source of truth. 🔑

AI Agents hallucinate, leak PII, ignore instructions, and break in weird ways all the time. So how do you trust them before shoving to production? 🤔

We tested an AI agent with Vijil AI and ngrok and what we learned about agent failure (& trust) surprised us.

Some years ago, API gateways were just monoliths guarding THE prod.

Now? They’re everywhere: dev boxes, CI previews, LLM stacks, even your database. 🤷
