Unkey is the open-source platform that unifies API key management, rate limiting, deployment, and observability into a single control plane. The Go API service validates keys with sub-millisecond latency using regional Redis caches and MySQL 8.0 persistent storage, while ClickHouse captures every verification event for per-key and per-keyspace analytics with filterable time-series charts, request counters, and active key tracking. Keyspaces organize API keys by product, environment, or tier, each configurable with custom prefixes, byte lengths, IP whitelists, encrypted key recovery, and delete protection. Per-key settings include expiration dates, rate limit quotas with configurable windows, RBAC roles and permissions, owner identities linking multiple keys to a single user or organization, and key rotation with grace periods from immediate revocation through 24-hour overlap. The deployment pipeline connects GitHub repositories for automatic Docker container builds, generates preview environments per commit, promotes tested versions to production, and validates releases with OpenAPI diff detection flagging breaking changes before production. The edge gateway authenticates and rate-limits requests at the closest region before routing to the nearest API instance. Immutable audit logs track every key creation, verification, deletion, and configuration change with actor, timestamp, and event metadata. The CLI provides terminal access to key management, analytics queries, and deployment operations. On RepoCloud, deploy Unkey on a dedicated VPS with Docker, root SSH access, and complete control over your API infrastructure, all under the AGPL license.

CPA Manager Plus is a self-hosted observability dashboard and management panel that tracks every AI request flowing through your CLI Proxy API gateway, breaking down failures, costs, and account health across providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Codex in one interface. When a request fails, drill into the persistent history to see status codes, affected models, latency, and redacted failure evidence without exposing raw response bodies. The cost analytics engine breaks down token consumption and estimated spend by model, provider, account, API key, project, channel, and time range while tracking input, output, reasoning, cache, and service-tier pricing semantics separately. Model prices sync automatically from models.dev with LiteLLM and OpenRouter fallbacks, and you can add local overrides for aliases or internal models. For teams running Codex or xAI accounts, the health inspector reads quota windows, reset evidence, credential state, and workspace status on a configurable schedule, routing credential failures into an action queue for review rather than letting them silently degrade throughput. Deploy the Lightweight Panel to replace your existing CPA management UI without adding another service, or run Full Mode as a single Docker container that adds the Manager Server with persistent SQLite storage for request history, historical analytics, and automated account inspections. Export or import request history as JSONL for external analysis, and back up the SQLite files alongside your encrypted management keys. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

With over 330 GitHub stars and described as "OpenRouter, but for agent tools instead of models," Treg is the unified tool registry that gives your AI agent one base URL, one token, and instant access to approximately 2,800 cataloged endpoints across 56 providers — SEO and backlink analysis via Semrush and Moz, social media intelligence from TikTok and Instagram, people and company enrichment through Crunchbase and Hunter, media buying, scraping, and SERP data — all priced per call from fractions of a cent with no provider signup required. The FastAPI backend with PostgreSQL stores credential bindings and injects them server-side into every proxied request, ensuring API keys and OAuth tokens never touch the agent or local machine while every call is audit-logged. Teams register their own paid API accounts, OAuth connections, vendor CLIs like Stripe, GitHub CLI, Vercel, and gcloud, plus custom SKILL.md definitions — all callable by every teammate's agent through a single treg token with automatic credential injection. The evidence-based tool selector shows success rate, response speed, and last-seen timestamp for each provider, so agents pick tools on measured performance rather than guesswork. Bring-your-own-key routes bypass metering entirely, and the one-dollar free credit on every new team lets agents start calling immediately. The Vue.js web dashboard provides team management, audit logs, catalog browsing, and guided onboarding. Self-host with pip install tools-registry[server] on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Backed by 56,000+ GitHub stars and over 240 million Docker pulls, LiteLLM delivers the open-source AI gateway trusted by Netflix, Lemonade, Rocket Money, and thousands of engineering teams to route every LLM request through one unified API. The Rust-core gateway adds sub-millisecond overhead per request with 8ms P95 latency at 1,000 RPS, 15x throughput improvement and 11x lower memory footprint compared to Python-only proxies. A single OpenAI-compatible endpoint connects to 100+ providers and 1,800+ models spanning OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, Hugging Face, vLLM, Nvidia NIM, Ollama, and Mistral with day-zero support for new model releases. The Auto Router V2 classifies request complexity across four tiers using rule-based scoring, semantic keyword matching, and adaptive Thompson sampling to route each request to the most cost-effective model without API calls or training data. Virtual API keys enable multi-tenant governance with per-team, per-user, and per-project cost tracking, budget caps with automatic fallback rerouting, and role-based access control. Built-in guardrails provide PII masking, prompt injection detection, and model-graded evaluation before requests reach providers. The Agent Gateway extends routing from model calls to agent workflows with MCP server integration. Observability integrates with Langfuse, Arize Phoenix, OpenTelemetry, and MLflow for complete request tracing. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

KrakenD processes over 18,000 requests per second on a single instance while consuming under 50MB of RAM at 1,000 concurrent connections, operating as a stateless API gateway that requires no database whatsoever. The Community Edition has earned over 2,600 GitHub stars by outperforming database-dependent alternatives like Kong and Tyk in independent benchmarks. Written entirely in Go, it uses declarative JSON or YAML configuration files that integrate directly into GitOps workflows for version-controlled infrastructure management. The gateway aggregates responses from multiple backend services into a single API call, transforms request and response payloads with field filtering, grouping, and mapping, and applies zero-trust security policies including JWT validation, OAuth 2.0, CORS, HSTS, clickjacking protection, and XSS prevention. Traffic management features include multi-layer rate limiting at both the router and proxy levels, circuit breakers for backend fault isolation, spike arrest policies, and concurrent call support that requests the same data from multiple backends in parallel for improved response times. Telemetry integrates with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana dashboards, Datadog, Zipkin, and Jaeger for distributed tracing and metrics collection. The gateway extends through Go plugins, Lua scripting, Martian modifiers, and Google CEL expressions for custom request processing logic. AI workload routing supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other model endpoints with built-in fallback, retries, and load balancing. Deploy via Docker with the devopsfaith/krakend image as a single binary. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.
