Most engineering teams running multi-cloud infrastructure have quietly accumulated a networking stack they never intended to build.
A VPN for private connectivity. A transit gateway for cross-VPC routing. A subnet management tool to keep track of address space across environments. And somewhere underneath all of it, BGP — stitching it together in ways that require a specialist to maintain.
Each tool made sense when it was added. Together, they're expensive to run, slow to change, and painful to debug.
noBGP replaces all three with a single agent-based overlay. Here's what you can cut and what you get instead.
VPNs were the default answer to private connectivity across environments for years. They work. But they come with real costs.
You pay for the gateway infrastructure. You pay for egress. You spend engineering time on certificate rotation, tunnel monitoring, and failover configuration. Every new environment means a new VPN connection to manage.
noBGP removes the need for a VPN between your own workloads entirely. Install the agent on two nodes in different environments and they're connected privately — encrypted, direct, without a VPN gateway in the middle.
There's no tunnel to configure. No certificate to rotate. No gateway to monitor. The connection is defined by policy, not by infrastructure.
What you eliminate: VPN gateway spend, egress costs on VPN traffic, and the engineering time required to maintain VPN configuration across environments.
Connecting VPCs at scale — especially across accounts or regions — typically requires a transit gateway or a mesh of VPC peering connections. Both approaches require subnet planning upfront and route table management as your infrastructure grows.
Transit gateways are billed by the hour and by data processed. VPC peering connections multiply as your environment count grows. And neither approach handles multi-cloud — you need a separate solution the moment you add a second cloud provider.
noBGP replaces this with a flat overlay network. Every node joins the same private network regardless of which cloud, account, or region it lives in. You don't plan subnets. You don't manage route tables. You define which workloads can reach each other, and noBGP handles the rest.
What you eliminate: Transit gateway or peering infrastructure spend, route table management, and the subnet coordination required any time a new VPC is added.
Subnet management is one of those costs that rarely shows up on a single line in your budget, but adds up across engineering time. Allocating address space for new environments, avoiding overlap between VPCs, updating IPAM when things change — it's low-stakes work that takes high-stakes concentration.
noBGP removes the problem at the source. Because the overlay is policy-based and decoupled from IP topology, you don't need to coordinate subnets between environments. Two nodes can have overlapping IP ranges on their local networks and still communicate through noBGP without conflict.
What you eliminate: Subnet planning overhead, IPAM tooling costs, and the delay that subnet coordination adds to any new environment rollout.
If you're running AI or ML workloads across environments, there's an additional layer: those workloads increasingly need to provision their own connectivity as part of a workflow.
noBGP's Networking MCP lets AI agents do exactly that. Your model describes which resources need to connect, and the network is provisioned automatically. For teams building AI-native infrastructure, this means networking is no longer a manual step that blocks a pipeline — it's part of the workflow.
Before noBGP, a typical multi-cloud networking stack includes a VPN or transit gateway for connectivity, a subnet management process for address coordination, route tables maintained per environment, and a specialist or two who understand how it all fits together.
After noBGP: one agent installed per node. Policies that define access. A private network that spans any cloud, region, or environment — managed automatically.
The specialist time doesn't disappear entirely, but it shifts from maintenance to architecture.
noBGP offers a free account with no credit card required. Your first network is created automatically when you sign up. Install the agent on your first node in under 5 minutes.
