A control plane in front of every model.
Portkey sits between your application and model providers\, handling routing\, fallbacks\, caching\, rate limits\, guardrails and logging through one gateway.
Consolidating that cross-cutting plumbing in one place is worth more than any single feature — without it you re-implement retries and fallbacks in every service. The free tier covers 10\,000 logs a month\, and there is an open-source self-hosted option with no request limits.
