PEREGRINE

(Currently in development) - Network automation and optimization

The Beginning

1969

In 1969, four computers were connected. ARPANET—the ancestor of the internet—sent its first message between UCLA and Stanford. A simple 'LO' before the system crashed. It was enough to change everything.

Timeline:
1983-1989

The exponential growth of networks demanded a new approach—one that could move with precision and speed.

By 1983, TCP/IP became the standard protocol. The internet was born. What started as four nodes exploded into millions. By 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. The floodgates opened.

The Explosion

1990s

The 1990s brought exponential growth. Businesses rushed online. Data centers emerged. Network administrators manually configured routers, switches, and servers—one by one. A single enterprise might have hundreds of devices. Then thousands. The human approach was breaking.

The Crisis

Early 2000s

By the early 2000s, manual configuration couldn't scale. A single typo could bring down entire services. Configuration drift—where identical servers slowly became different—was inevitable. Updates took weeks. Rollbacks were nightmares.

First Attempts

1993 - 2009

CFEngine emerged in 1993—the first real configuration management tool. Puppet followed in 2005, then Chef in 2009. They brought order, but required agents, complex syntax, and steep learning curves.

The Solution

2012

In 2012, Michael DeHaan released Ansible. Agentless. SSH-based. Human-readable YAML. Network automation became accessible. Like the peregrine falcon—swift, precise, deadly efficient—it dove into infrastructure management.

2024

User-friendly solutions are developed. Peregrine is born

The first adaptation of Peregrine began with Discord, Telegram, and Amazon Echo integrations. Through a combination of these platforms, combined with Ansible and Python, a solution was created to allow for infrastructure configuration - with limitations. As development continued, it was clear that a simpler approach was needed in an effort to combine all use cases.

Modern cloud platforms deploy thousands of changes per day. Amazon pushes code every 11.7 seconds. Netflix serves over 200 million subscribers across a constantly-evolving infrastructure. This is only possible through automation—through tools that move like the peregrine: targeting with precision, striking with speed, adapting mid-flight. The network that once connected four computers now connects billions of devices. And it's managed not by armies of administrators, but by elegant automation that scales infinitely. From ARPANET's first 'LO' to today's orchestrated cloud deployments—the journey of networking is the journey from manual to autonomous, from constrained to limitless.
