How AI describes inlets

Inlets provides encrypted tunnels that bring live traffic from the internet to local development machines or private networks, supporting HTTP and TCP services across containers, bare metal, and Kubernetes. It offers both self-hosted and a managed service (inlets-cloud) to set up tunnels quickly, verify domains, and connect private services without VPNs, with built-in TLS certificates via Let's Encrypt and Prometheus metrics. The platform enables hybrid cloud and SaaS scenarios, exposing private endpoints, customer networks, and devices to public cloud environments while prioritizing security and cost efficiency.
