Multi-year engineering partnership across routing, orchestration, and AI-augmented engineering
A North American networking startup set out to challenge hyperscalers with a next-generation routing platform built on commodity hardware, multi-tenant SaaS architecture, and global routing visibility. As product ambitions expanded, the company looked beyond platform engineering, embedding AI into software delivery to accelerate innovation without proportionally growing engineering teams.
Hyperscaler-grade platforms. AI-augmented engineering. Built to scale.
Building a hyperscaler-grade platform without hyperscaler-sized teams
The customer needed a cloud-native routing platform capable of matching incumbent networking performance while supporting multi-tenant SaaS deployments and global routing visibility. Engineering teams also needed to build routing, orchestration, and intelligence layers in parallel while introducing AI as an engineering partner to improve delivery speed without compromising quality.
PAIN POINTS
Higher engineering throughput. Same team.
Built on open-source foundations. Accelerated through AI-augmented engineering.
Veltris engineered a Dockerized FRR-based software routing stack with GraphQL control, OSPF, BGP, RIP, and Kubernetes-native deployment on commodity hardware. A multi-tenant SaaS orchestrator running on AWS and GCP delivered tenant isolation, role-based access, and intuitive network management, while a cloud-native router added VRF-aware segmentation, IPSec connectivity, and integrated firewall capabilities.
Alongside the platform, Veltris delivered a Global Internet Mapper for real-time BGP topology, geo and IP intelligence, valley-free routing analysis, and impact-radius decisions. An AI-augmented engineering model introduced prompt-driven autonomous workflows with carrier-class human review, enabling faster software delivery across the engineering lifecycle.
From writing code to orchestrating AI-augmented engineering.
WHAT CHANGED IN THE WORK
WHAT WE DELIVERED
Almost 50% productivity gain. Zero additional headcount.
KEY RESULTS DELIVERED
grade routing platform on commodity hardware
engineering productivity gain
efficiency improvement in CI/CD and unit testing
faster production support
Veltris brought together secure networking expertise, cloud-native platform engineering, and AI-augmented engineering to deliver a hyperscaler-grade routing platform without increasing engineering complexity. By combining autonomous engineering workflows with carrier-class human oversight, Veltris accelerated software delivery, improved engineering productivity, and created a foundation ready to scale future AI-driven networking capabilities.
CAPABILITIES APPLIED
We set out to challenge hyperscalers with a high-performance routing platform delivering ~25% better throughput than competing solutions. Veltris helped us build the foundation enabling 10x horizontal scalability to do exactly that: scalable, secure, and deployable on commodity hardware. They’re the reason we can have that conversation credibly.
