Cloud-Native AI Gateway
Cloud-Native AI Gateway: Problem: AI usage needs routing, policy, budget awareness, and provider resilience. Constraints: Latency, observability, prompt safety, rate limits, and failover behavior. Architecture: Gateway layer for model selection, request shaping, telemetry, and controlled fallback paths. Result: AI becomes operable infrastructure, not an opaque API call.
