BGP Alternative for Distributed Network Applications
As cloud adoption accelerates, organizations are facing a familiar pain: connecting workloads securely and privately across AWS, Azure, and GCP without introducing unnecessary complexity.
For decades, BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) has been the default for routing traffic across networks. But BGP was never designed for cloud-native architectures. It’s manual, fragile, and increasingly incompatible with the needs of distributed, fast-moving teams.
If you’re dealing with overlapping subnets, slow network provisioning, or fragile VPN-based setups, it’s time to explore better alternatives to BGP for multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
These needs call for a different approach: programmable networking built for developers and DevOps, not traditional network engineers.
Several technologies have emerged to solve the problems BGP creates. The most promising alternatives combine automation, security, and compatibility across cloud providers.
