Traffic Management & Performance - AI Gateways (3)
Token-Aware Rate Limiting
Enforces strict request and token quotas per user, tenant, or application to prevent system overloads and manage API budget limits.
Semantic Caching
Caches responses for identical or semantically similar prompts to significantly reduce API latency and eliminate redundant token costs.
Multi-Model Routing & Fallbacks
Routes API requests to various LLM providers via a single unified API and automatically fails over to backup models if downtime occurs.
Governance & Observability - AI Gateways (3)
Data Privacy
Intercepts traffic to detect and mask Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or block malicious prompt injections before the request reaches the external model.
Cost Tracking
Provides granular dashboards to monitor token consumption and calculate exact monetary costs broken down by application, team, or specific model.
Centralized API Key Security
Securely vaults and manages external LLM API keys within the gateway so developers do not need to hardcode credentials into their applications.
