Azure Application Gateway vs. ngrok

Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Unlike traditional load balancers that operate at the transport layer (Layer 4), Application Gateway operates at the application layer (Layer 7), allowing it to make routing decisions based on attributes such as URL paths and host headers. This capability provides more control over how traffic is distributed to your applications, enhancing both performance and security.

One gateway for all your traffic. ngrok replaces your networking hodgepodge—reverse proxies, load balancers, VPNs, auth layers, model routers, and the rest of the kludge—with one cloud networking platform. Secure, transform, and route traffic to services running anywhere. localhost to prod, APIs to AI models, and much more, already built by millions of developers and trusted by teams at Twilio, GitHub, Okta, Microsoft, Zoom, and Databricks.
