Built for Speed: ~10ms Latency, Even Under Load
Blazingly fast way to build, track and deploy your models!
- Handles 350+ RPS on just 1 vCPU — no tuning needed
- Production-ready with full enterprise support
TrueFoundry AI Gateway delivers ~3–4 ms latency, handles 350+ RPS on 1 vCPU, scales horizontally with ease, and is production-ready, while LiteLLM suffers from high latency, struggles beyond moderate RPS, lacks built-in scaling, and is best for light or prototype workloads.

Frequently asked questions
What is Envoy AI Gateway?
An open-source AI gateway built as an additive layer on Envoy Gateway and the Kubernetes Gateway API, with Envoy as the data plane and CRDs as the control plane. Since 10 September 2026 it is called Agent Router and lives in the Agentic AI Foundation.
Is Envoy AI Gateway production ready?
It reached v1.0 GA on 23 June 2026 with a stable v1beta1 API and a written no-breaking-changes promise. Published adopters include Bloomberg, LY Corporation, Nutanix and Tencent Cloud. The production question is less about the code than the operational surface you supply around it.
Envoy AI Gateway vs a commercial AI gateway — how do I choose?
Count what you would build. If you run Kubernetes with the Gateway API and have engineers with capacity for a console, RBAC, cost attribution, budgets, prompt logging and guardrails, Agent Router is a legitimate, cheap-in-licence choice. If that list reads like a roadmap you did not plan for, buy it.
Do old Envoy AI Gateway URLs still work?
Yes. aigateway.envoyproxy.io 301-redirects to theagentrouter.ai, and github.com/envoyproxy/ai-gateway redirects to github.com/theagentrouter/agent-router.
هل يمكنني تشغيل TrueFoundry في شبكتي الافتراضية الخاصة (VPC) أو في موقعي؟
نعم. يعمل TrueFoundry في شبكتك الافتراضية الخاصة (VPC)، أو في موقعك، أو في بيئة معزولة، أو في بيئة هجينة، أو عبر السحابات المختلفة، ولا تغادر أي بيانات نطاقك. وهذا هو السبب الرئيسي الذي يجعل الشركات الخاضعة للتنظيم تفضله على البوابات التي تعتمد على SaaS فقط.
Does TrueFoundry work with my observability stack?
Yes. The gateway exports OTEL traces and metrics over HTTP or gRPC, and exposes Prometheus scraping when self-hosted.
