April flew by with big momentum at Defang. From deeper investments in the Model Context Protocol (MCP), to deploying LLM-based inferencing apps, to live demos of Vibe Deploying, we're making it easier than ever to go from idea to cloud.
MCP + Vibe Deployingβ
This month we focused on making cloud deployments as easy as writing a prompt. Our latest Vibe Deploying blog shows how you can launch full-stack apps right from your IDE just by chatting.
Whether you're working in Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or Claude, Defang's MCP integration lets you deploy to the cloud just as easily as conversing with the AI to generate your app. For more details, check out the docs for the Defang Model Context Protocol Server β it explains how it works, how to use it, and why it's a game changer for deploying to the cloud. You can also watch our tutorials for Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
Managed LLMsβ
Last month we shipped the x-defang-llm
compose service extension to easily deploy inferencing apps that use managed LLM services such as AWS Bedrock. This month, we're excited to announce the same support for GCP Vertex AI β give it a try and let us know your feedback!
Events and Programsβ
On April 28, we kicked things off with an epic night of demos, dev energy, and cloud magic at RAG & AI in Action. Our own Kevin Vo showed how fast and easy it is to deploy AI apps from Windsurf to the cloud using just the Defang MCP. The crowd got a front-row look at how Vibe Deploying turns cloud infra into a background detail.
We finished the month with our signature Defang Coffee Chat, a casual hangout with product updates, live Q&A, and great conversations with our community. Our Campus Advocates also hosted workshops around the world, bringing Defang to new students and builders.
We wrapped up the month with our latest Defang Coffee Chat, featuring live demos, product updates, and a solid conversation around vibe deploying. Thanks to everyone who joined.
The next one is on May 21 at 10 AM PST. Save your spot here.
