Edges are persistent, shareable configurations that also power ngrok's Kubernetes Ingress Controller and integrate with the ngrok-go and ngrok-rust SDKs, enabling path-specific configs and centralized security policies like SSO and IP restrictions for production apps and APIs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is ngrok Cloud Edges and how does it let me update endpoint config without downtime? Cloud Edges is an ngrok feature that lets you add or update modules like authentication, compression, and webhook verification through the dashboard or API without restarting the agent. Configuration lives on the Edge rather than in the agent's command-line flags, so changes to modules apply live while your app stays online, and Edges persist as reusable, shareable objects across a team. _Track feature rollouts like ngrok's Cloud Edges as you evaluate tunneling and gateway tools on daily.dev._ ### Is ngrok Cloud Edges available on the free tier? Yes, Cloud Edges was added to ngrok's free tier so any user can enhance endpoints with modules such as OAuth, compression, and webhook verification, load balance traffic across multiple agents, apply path-specific configurations, and enforce enterprise security policies like SSO via OpenID Connect or SAML and IP restrictions. _daily.dev helps developers stay current on free-tier changes when picking infrastructure tools like ngrok._ ### How do I use ngrok Cloud Edges with the ngrok-go or ngrok-rust SDK? You connect your Go or Rust application to an Edge without hardcoding module or endpoint configuration in code, since all configuration is maintained centrally at the Edge. The ngrok-go and ngrok-rust agent SDKs automatically pick up new or updated modules configured through the Edge, so the application benefits from configuration changes without redeploying. _Developers wiring ngrok into Go or Rust services can follow SDK updates like this on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#devtools](https://daily.dev/tags/devtools), [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#oauth](https://daily.dev/tags/oauth), [#api-gateway](https://daily.dev/tags/api-gateway) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cloud-edges-for-all-ngrok-users-4j3hgvydk) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Introducing Cloud Edges for all ngrok users","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cloud-edges-for-all-ngrok-users-4j3hgvydk","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cloud-edges-for-all-ngrok-users-4j3hgvydk"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T07:20:57.993Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T07:27:34.833Z","description":"ngrok's Cloud Edges feature, previously a paid capability, is now available on the free tier, letting developers add authentication, compression, webhook...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b402e32fa92858dd567297576de23453?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b402e32fa92858dd567297576de23453?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"ngrok Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"ngrok Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--718XXxvE--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787469610/logos/ngrok?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/ngrok"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cloud-edges-for-all-ngrok-users-4j3hgvydk","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"devtools,kubernetes,oauth,api-gateway","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"ngrok Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ngrok"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Introducing Cloud Edges for all ngrok users"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cloud-edges-for-all-ngrok-users-4j3hgvydk#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is ngrok Cloud Edges and how does it let me update endpoint config without downtime?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Cloud Edges is an ngrok feature that lets you add or update modules like authentication, compression, and webhook verification through the dashboard or API without restarting the agent.
