"I want to talk about Rathole, this tool. So Rathole is a, you probably have heard of ngrok. right? Yeah, we've talked about it. Yeah, we've talked about it before and it's super useful. One of the things that is a real big challenge a lot of times is I need to let somebody or something access an API."
"Let me give you two really big examples that are useful for this. One is web hooks. You want to do e-commerce or it doesn't really matter. Anything that has to do with a web hook where you're on the receiving end, you're creating the web hook. That's a public website or service that's going to call your webhook."
Rathole is a tunneling tool comparable to ngrok that exposes local services to the public internet. Exposing local services enables external services to call development endpoints and test integrations. Webhooks are a primary use case, where external platforms such as e-commerce providers need public endpoints to deliver event notifications. Local API access is another use case for debugging and collaboration. The tool addresses the recurring challenge of making private development servers reachable without deploying them to production. Existing popularity of ngrok provides context for similar utility.
