hi hn, i'm the creator of ngrok. here to answer any questions!

we're excited to continue bringing the magic of ngrok to production workloads. there's no networking to configure, just helm install it. and unlike other ingress controllers, it creates secure internet ingress no matter where your clusters are: EKS, GKE, k3s on your raspberry pi, minikube on your laptop, OpenShift, etc.

<3s to you all

hi all, i'm the creator of ngrok. we released a similar SDK for Go a couple weeks ago [1] and we're really excited to make it just as easy to listen on the internet as it is to listen on a local port for all the Rustaceans out there now too :)

happy to answer any questions!

can you tell me a little bit more about what's tedious about it and/or the higher-layer problem you're trying to solve?

Thanks Kord! Founder of ngrok here, just a quick note of correction for others in this thread: ngrok is absolutely intended for production use cases. There are many customers both hobbyist and enterprise running thousands of production workloads over ngrok's service (including ourselves! we dogfood ngrok for our ingress). We're excited to be sharing more about that with the HN community really soon.

Really sorry about the frustrations! We're working on improving both of those pain points (as well as many other things). If you're still an ngrok user, send me an email at alan at ngrok dot com

Author here. After four years, I still stand by this advice/critique. As everyone likes to point out, there are a few presenters that are an exception to the rule. That's true! I'm certainly not one of them, though.

I would also love to see better tooling made for creating presentations from code. I usually end up painstakingly custom highlighting code so that it can be stepped through line-by-line on slides which is very ungrateful and frustrating work. I also haven't done this in a while, so if folks have found or made tools that make this easier, please send me recommendations!

You should be comfortable with the Go (Golang) and GRPC/Protobuf, and digging into the weeds of networking protocols.

We're also looking for a frontend engineer with strong visual design and UX instincts and experience with Typescript.

ngrok is looking for senior backend distributed systems engineers! Your favorite developer tool is built by a very small company, so there's plenty opportunity to wear multiple hats and a lot of automony shaping the entire product. ngrok has many difficult challenges in distributed systems and networking that you won't find elsewhere in a company of similar size.

The stack is primarily Go (Golang), a little Python and React/Typescript. You should be comfortable with Go, GRPC/Protobuf, AWS and distsys design/architecture.
