Local testing has become faster and now simplifies webhook debugging and demo sharing
The best features ngrok offers are public URLs, webhook testing, real-time request inspection, and easy setup. I rely on public URLs and real-time request inspection the most. With public URLs, I do not have to purchase high-end hosting; I can test locally and share it with my peers or colleagues, asking them to test my local server. Real-time testing gives a quick response, and the setup is easy. ngrok has positively impacted my organization by making integration faster, sharing demos easily, and reducing deployment time. I do not have to deploy everything, and that is one of the most important reasons that helped me in my organization. For example, webhook testing has dropped from one to two hours to a few minutes since some deployment was not needed; this is one of the best examples I can provide.
