What Pomerium does

Pomerium is an identity and context-aware reverse proxy. It builds clientless connections to internal web apps and other services without a corporate VPN.

Why teams reach for it: Pomerium builds secure, clientless connections to internal web apps and other services without a corporate VPN.

Worth knowing

Pomerium requires a persistent databroker backend for caching tokens and upstream OAuth state; it does not support in-memory backend for production use.
