Reducing integration time from months to days

Copado faced a challenge in serving customers that house code for Salesforce and other apps on their own on-premise systems. Providing VPNs or other networking mechanisms for customers to deploy code on Copado’s CI/CD platform could take weeks or months of effort, require costly maintenance and be prone to breakage.

With ngrok, Copado has eliminated the pain of integrating customer repositories with its DevOps environment. ngrok equips Copado to set up secure remote connectivity in a matter of days, and deliver reliable and frictionless access that builds customer satisfaction and success.

“ngrok helps Copado with time to value,” says Austin Cottrell, cloud infrastructure engineer at Copado. “Establishing remote connectivity with our customer's environments is fast and safe, giving our customers confidence in our solution. Being able to stand up and secure remote connections via REST APIs is amazing!”
