Automation workflows have accelerated backend development and simplified API sharing for teams

  • March 10, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I preferably work in Python backend use cases. As a Data Engineer, I use FastAPI and build my code in Python. To create an API for front-end developers, I use ngrok.

I made an automation platform for the finance team in our office, where I serve as a backend engineer. Since I work in the data field, I use backend technologies. The backend code is entirely written in FastAPI. I need to give the API to front-end developers to embed in their code. Since the project is completely developed locally, I used ngrok for obtaining the APIs.

I used ngrok to get APIs. I built three modules: the user module, customer module, and finance module. For each module, I used separate APIs. Taking the ngrok URL as a constant and adding the other methods like POST and GET and whatever API I need to call, I used ngrok for my end-to-end backend.

What is most valuable?

The free tier of ngrok is one of the best features it offers. Initially, I used the free tier, and it gave me more tokens. Even when my API received many hits from the front end, I was able to use this ngrok backend API without any problems.

ngrok is very reliable.

When building our internal automation forms, we use ngrok for the backend part. It provides an easy step and is beginner-friendly, allowing us to integrate easily and test. Testing it in Postman and other tools is also very easy.

I was able to easily give my ngrok URL to the front-end developer. Development of APIs using ngrok is very fast.

Before going into the production environment, this ngrok free tier was actually saving our time and benefiting employees.

What needs improvement?

ngrok can be improved in the following way: when we unexpectedly close the laptop or sometimes close the page where we are running ngrok, that can be improved. The time limit for this can be extended.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ngrok for more than a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ngrok is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

ngrok is also scalable. I was able to use it in many other use cases as well. It is good for scalability.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support is friendly and we were able to get our solution.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The pricing was reasonable and the initial setup and licensing were also good.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing was reasonable and the initial setup and licensing were also good.

What do you like best about the product?
Undeployed can easily deploy with the help of the ngrok software application.
What do you dislike about the product?
If the cost of the service is slightly higher, then I will be very full to deploy the small project. they should include students offering those kinds of plans the it will helpful for easy deployment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Actually, I am a final year student, I want to showcase my project to the interviewer during the interview if it is deployed it will give extra impression to deploy my small and tiny projects i had been using the ngrok website,

Ngrok Local System Host tool

What do you like best about the product?
We can host our local pc as a Host. That's the best thing about this. Without AWS or GCP account, I can host this.
What do you dislike about the product?
As I have started exploring this tool so right now, I don't have anything which I wouldn't say I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was doing POC for the client, and i was able to show him that POC on my ngrok host and the same POC can be accessed by the client on his pc; that's the best part.

What do you like best about the product?
I have used Ngrok for more than 5 years. Ngrok has a free plan that is sufficient for time to time integrations. The solution is reliable and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike, but to have a subdomain address you have to upgrade to a paid plan. Unfortunately, having the free tier cause that ever restarts of the tunnel gives You a new address so You have to update the corresponding configuration
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Ngrok I am able to integrate my localhost environment with any 3rd part services without a problem - just like have a public IP address.

What do you like best about the product?
Unique concept that links your port to divert your traffic from that port to internet so that it can be accessible anywhere in the world without any range or network constrain.
Just install NGROK, run it on cmd to divert your traffic and all set. Now you anyone can access your that port on internet with specific url.
Its useful to show the client real time progress of your project if you are working on web development without having your customer to visit your place to check the finished work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Your data is EXPOSED. With whole project going live on internet, anyone can access the website.

Also you need to have the source device on with ngrok running on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you have pc without wifi module and you need to send/receive data from mobile to particular port... say json response from you local offline project to android device which requires to connect both device under same network, this could create problem. With ngrok this restriction is eliminated.
