Ona is the background agent infra Ramp had to build

As companies like Stripe and Ramp have demonstrated the potential of background agents in automating significant portions of their engineering workflows, the industry is increasingly exploring the build-versus-buy decision for implementing similar systems. Both companies developed bespoke infrastructure to support their agents, leveraging years of standardisation and specialised platform teams to create environments where agents can autonomously write and review code. The complexity lies in providing a complete development environment, ensuring security, enabling connectivity, and allowing automation and parallelism, which most organisations lack the resources to build from scratch. Ona offers a managed platform that provides these capabilities out of the box, addressing common challenges and enabling companies to deploy background agents effectively within their own infrastructure. This allows organisations to focus on customising the system to their specific needs without the overhead of developing and maintaining the foundational infrastructure themselves.
