Portkey AI is an AI gateway and observability platform that provides a unified API layer for accessing and managing 200+ AI models from multiple providers — with built-in reliability features including automatic fallbacks, load balancing, caching, and rate limit management. Its comprehensive observability dashboard tracks costs, latency, and quality metrics across every LLM request in production. AI engineering teams building production applications use Portkey to gain full control over their AI infrastructure, implement sophisticated routing logic, prevent vendor lock-in, and maintain detailed visibility into AI system performance without building custom monitoring infrastructure.
