| 23 | +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. |

| 25 | +## MCP + Vibe Deploying |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +This month we focused on making cloud deployments as easy as writing a prompt. Our latest Vibe Deploying [blog](https://docs.defang.io/blog?_gl=1*1wbnk1m*_ga*MTM4MTE5ODI4NC4xNzQ0MDU0NDMz*_ga_QVJVWN44CW*czE3NDY3NDQwNDckbzQ3JGcxJHQxNzQ2NzQ0NzUzJGowJGwwJGgw) shows how you can launch full-stack apps right from your IDE just by chatting. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +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](https://docs.defang.io/docs/concepts/mcp) – 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](https://youtu.be/Aicqp9QQdwk?si=h891XNIN_f_U2-fX), [Windsurf](https://youtu.be/QU4q1eULs1I?si=nmSrXLqHtHRRlCVb), and [VS Code](https://youtu.be/k8NbeKKzqiI?si=BxDNJOw_zHnL433w). |

| 31 | +## Managed LLMs |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Last month we shipped the [`x-defang-llm` compose service extension](https://docs.defang.io/docs/concepts/managed-llms/managed-language-models) 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 – give it a try and let us know your feedback! |

| 35 | +## Events and Programs |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +On [**April 28**](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/defanglabs_defang-vibecoding-vancouverdev-activity-7323769706681655296-48OA?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAACNoYXgBadWv4CWLbcKhgSGxWjdmu9e5dFI), 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. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +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](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7319584997319802880/) around the world, bringing Defang to new students and builders. |
