- License: gateway is MIT, gateway is Other.
- Pricing: The service is open source and MIT licensed; specific pricing for related services (if any) not detailed in repository..
- Requirements: Developed using TypeScript; no Docker requirement specified for operation or development..
- Tags unique to gateway: ai-gateway, gateway, generative-ai, langchain.
- Use gateway when you need a versatile platform capable of connecting to more than 1,600 LLM providers.
When NOT to use gateway
- Avoid using gateway if your application only requires connection to a limited number of LLM providers, as its extensive provider support might introduce unnecessary complexity.
- If you don't require sophisticated cost management features such as smart caching or usage analytics provided by the tool, consider simpler alternatives.
Choose gateway if…
- gateway is primarily Python; gateway is TypeScript.
- License: gateway is Other, gateway is MIT.
- Pricing: Open-source with no explicit monetary cost, but requires users to handle infrastructure costs associated with local Docker deployment.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Docker and Docker Compose are required for deployment; Initial launch takes several minutes due to downloading machine learning models (~1.5GB+) for the first time.
- Tags unique to gateway: content-moderation, docker-compose, guardrails, pii-redaction.
- When you need to self-host a secure gateway for LLM-based AI applications that requires local deployment via Docker
When NOT to use gateway
- Avoid if you are looking for cloud-managed services, as this tool is designed solely for local or self-hosted environments
- Not suitable if you require extensive customization beyond the provided policies.yaml file and predefined guardrails for content moderation and security
