In a bold move to revolutionize cloud connectivity, today at Web Summit Vancouver, noBGP launched the first networking platform that completely eliminates dependency on Border Gate Protocol (BGP) – the internet’s decades-old routing protocol. By deploying a noBGP router, enterprises immediately gain deterministic routing, which can be seamlessly integrated into their cloud-native development environments.

Networking should allow organizations to connect to the resources they need, from wherever they operate. Yet the internet’s default routing protocol, BGP, was designed primarily for efficient data transport between endpoints, with limited consideration for modern requirements such as security, privacy, and data sovereignty. noBGP replaces BGP with private, secure routing and removes public IP addresses to reduce risks commonly associated with networking. noBGP achieves this by decoupling from legacy technologies such as BGP and Domain Name Server (DNS) while still relying on the underlying TCP/IP stack, resulting in simple, secure, private networking without the need for VPNs, VPC peering, or complex configurations.
“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.”

noBGP introduces three fundamental breakthroughs in cloud connectivity:
1. Automated Private Routing
- Eliminates all BGP configurations and routing tables
- Creates instant connections between any cloud resources
- Automatically adapts to environment changes without manual intervention
- Handles IPv4/IPv6 and MTU translations invisibly
2. Zero-Trust Architecture
- Completely eliminates public IP addresses from your infrastructure
- Removes entire categories of network attacks by design
- Encrypts all traffic end-to-end by default
- Maintains continuous security without firewall rules or ACLs
3. Cloud-Native Integration
- Connect Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) across AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and local data centers
- Seamlessly connects workloads across regions and clouds
- Scales automatically with your applications
- Requires zero changes to existing applications
noBGP is already utilized by organizations like Cachengo and OptiML.
“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.”
