WebSummit Vancouver Launch Summary

June 5, 2025

noBGP launches at WebSummit Vancouver

TL;DR: noBGP Declares Independence from BGP, Revolutionizing Cloud Connectivity

  • noBGP officially launched a new networking platform that eliminates reliance on BGP, the decades-old internet routing protocol, enabling automated, secure cloud connectivity.
  • The platform delivers three core innovations: Automated Private Routing, Zero-Trust Architecture (no public IPs), and seamless Cloud-Native Integration across major cloud providers.
  • noBGP removes the need for VPNs, DNS, and complex networking configs, simplifying multi-cloud networking with deterministic, private routing that auto-adapts to environment changes.
  • Used by pioneers like Cachengo and OptiML, noBGP helps accelerate hybrid workloads and AI deployments through secure, direct workload connectivity.
  • The launch highlights a broader shift away from legacy internet architecture, offering faster, more secure, and developer-friendly cloud networking.

noBGP's networking platform eliminates the internet's legacy routing protocol to deliver automated, secure cloud networking - read the full press release here


"BGP was created in 1989 when the internet was a very different place. Today, companies are trying to force this aging protocol to handle modern cloud environments it was never designed for," said noBGP Founder and CEO Ryo Koyama. "By completely eliminating BGP from the equation, we're not just making networking easier – we're fundamentally changing how cloud resources connect. Our customers are seeing what's possible when you remove 30 years of networking complexity: private connections that help businesses move faster, scale effortlessly, and operate with the highest security standards."

"Decentralization is what's next for the cloud, and Cachengo's market-disrupting, low-power compute and storage solutions are leading the transformation," said Ash Young, CEO of Cachengo. "Hybrid workloads demand deterministic routes, noBGP makes that possible through modern orchestration rather than complex network setup."

"While cloud-native is our standard approach, GPU scarcity has forced time-consuming manual configurations that drain productivity," said Jeff Capone, CEO of OptiML. "AI workloads highlight the critical need for direct workload connectivity rather than traditional IP address-based connections. MCP (Model Context Protocol) demonstrates why deterministic connections between workloads are essential. noBGP addresses this by seamlessly integrating resources into our AWS VPC environment, allowing our development teams to focus exclusively on optimizing AI workloads."

FAQ

Q: What is noBGP and why is it significant?

A: noBGP is a networking platform that eliminates the use of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), replacing it with automated, secure, and private routing. It's significant because it modernizes cloud networking by removing legacy protocols that were never designed for today's multi-cloud, AI-driven environments.


Q: How does noBGP improve network security?

A: noBGP completely removes public IP addresses from your infrastructure, eliminating entire classes of network attacks. All traffic is encrypted end-to-end by default, and no firewall rules or access control lists are required.

Q:What makes noBGP different from VPNs or VPC peering?

A: Unlike VPNs or VPC peering, noBGP requires no manual configuration, no public IPs, and no dependency on DNS or BGP. It enables instant, deterministic connections between workloads across clouds, and data centers, scalaing automatically with applications.

Q: Who is already using noBGP and what benefits have they seen?

A: Organizations like Cachengo and OptiML are our highlighted launch customers. Cachengo leverages noBGP for secure hybrid workload orchestration across their distributed data center model, while OptiML uses noBGP to streamline AI fine-tuning workloads, eliminating the need for manual network setups and allowing their teams to focus on performance optimization.
