Cloud 66 vs ngrok: What are the differences?

What is Cloud 66? Full Stack Container Management as a Service. Cloud 66 makes Ops easy for developers. It is a single tool built for developers to build, configure and maintain servers and Docker containers on your own servers.

What is ngrok? Securely expose a local web server to the internet and capture all traffic for detailed inspection and replay. ngrok is a reverse proxy that creates a secure tunnel between from a public endpoint to a locally running web service. ngrok captures and analyzes all traffic over the tunnel for later inspection and replay.

Cloud 66 belongs to "Continuous Deployment" category of the tech stack, while ngrok can be primarily classified under "localhost Tools".

Some of the features offered by Cloud 66 are:

  • Provision — build your infrastructure from your code.
  • Backup — peace of mind with regular database backups for all your databases.
  • Security — Simple firewall management & DDoS protection without the stress.

On the other hand, ngrok provides the following key features:

  • Expose any http service behind a NAT or firewall to the internet on a subdomain of ngrok.com
  • Expose any tcp service behind a NAT or firewall to the internet on a random port of ngrok.com
  • Inspect all http requests/responses that are transmitted over the tunnel

"Easy provisioning" is the primary reason why developers consider Cloud 66 over the competitors, whereas "Easy to use" was stated as the key factor in picking ngrok.
