Is your AI gateway earning its keep? A simple way to check

5 minutes read

A gateway is the checkpoint every app passes through on its way to a model. It earns its place when it lowers cost, improves governance and makes developers faster — and each of those can be measured.

Cost control

Compare spend per successful request before and after routing, caching and quota policies are in place.

Governance

Count the share of model traffic that is logged, attributed to a team and covered by a data policy. The goal is 100%.

Developer speed

Measure how long it takes a team to adopt a new model or provider. A good gateway turns weeks of integration work into a configuration change.

Frequently asked questions

Do small teams need a gateway?

Usually not at first. The value grows with the number of teams, models and policies you need to manage.

Can gateway logs prove compliance?

They provide evidence of what was sent and returned, but compliance also depends on retention, access controls and review processes.
