Portkey

Production stack for GenAI builders providing AI Gateway, Observability, Guardrails, Governance, and Prompt Management in one unified platform.

Introduction

Portkey

Portkey is a comprehensive production stack for GenAI builders that equips AI teams with everything they need to deploy and manage AI applications at scale. The platform provides a unified solution combining an AI Gateway, Observability, Guardrails, Governance, and Prompt Management.

Core Capabilities
AI Gateway

Portkey offers a unified API to access 1,600+ LLMs from various providers, eliminating the need to integrate models individually. This allows teams to focus on building rather than managing multiple integrations.

Observability

MCP Gateway

Portkey's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway centralizes authentication, access, and observability of MCP servers, simplifying the development process.

AI Governance

Teams can manage resources with clear hierarchy, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and collaborative tools while maintaining security and compliance.
