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 the Datadog MCP server?
Datadog’s hosted remote Model Context Protocol server, exposing Datadog as tools an agent can call — searching and analysing logs, querying metrics, fetching traces and spans, reading monitors, dashboards, incidents, hosts and services, creating notebooks. Agents connect over a region-specific URL with OAuth2.
What tools does the Datadog MCP server expose?
The Datadog MCP server tools are grouped into toolsets. core covers logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, monitors, incidents, hosts, services, events and notebooks. Product-specific toolsets add APM, Alerting, Database Monitoring, Error Tracking, Security, Cases, RUM, Synthetics, Kubernetes, Profiling, DDSQL and Audit Trail — several hundred in total. The full list appears on the Tools tab after authorization.
Is the Datadog MCP server safe for enterprise use?
Yes, with two controls. Datadog’s model helps: MCP permissions grant no resource access on their own, so every user operates under their existing Datadog role. Add post-tool guardrails on log responses — logs carry secrets and PII you do not want reaching a model unfiltered — plus per-tool scoping so agents cannot reach write or code-execution tools.
Can I deploy TrueFoundry in my own VPC or on-prem?
Yes. TrueFoundry runs in your VPC, on-prem, air-gapped, or hybrid, so prompts and responses never leave your domain even as you route across many providers.
Does TrueFoundry support MCP and AI agents generally?
Yes. It includes an MCP Gateway, an Agent Gateway, and an MCP & Agents Registry with tool-level access control. Agents on LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or a custom framework can all be governed centrally.
Ele se integra com a minha stack de observabilidade existente?
Sim. O gateway é compatível com OpenTelemetry e se integra com Grafana, Datadog, Prometheus ou a sua stack preferida. Ele rastreia cada requisição, do prompt à execução da ferramenta e do modelo, para que você obtenha logs unificados sem precisar remover o que você já usa.
