Established

Extends beyond HTTP proxying to handle LLM traffic routing across multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, etc.) and MCP protocol governance with semantic security and observability. Built with Lua-based plugins for extensibility, supports declarative configuration via REST API or code (decK), and runs natively on Kubernetes through its official ingress controller. Offers both stateful deployments with PostgreSQL and stateless DB-less modes, plus hybrid control/data plane separation for enterprise scaling without vendor lock-in.
