Upsun is included in IDC ProductScape guide to worldwide cloud deployment-centric platform capabilities. Building and scaling applications has never been more complex or more critical. Engineering teams are under constant pressure to ship faster, manage increasingly complex infrastructure, and adapt to the rapid rise of agent and AI-powered development. Choosing the right platform to support these demands is an important decision for technology organizations.

AI teams have invested heavily in evaluation frameworks, yet getting those frameworks beyond local experimentation remains challenging. Teams using open source libraries like DeepEval and Pydantic Evals gain flexibility and research-grounded metrics, but operationalizing those evaluations still requires brittle custom integration code that doesn’t scale.

Builder in the loop is a Mezmo interview series focused on the engineers, product leaders, and operators shaping AURA, an open-source, MCP-native agent harness for production operations. This installment features Tony Rogers, whose work on AURA is less about building new features and more about trying to break them before users can.
