A 15-person ML team is replacing LiteLLM after a prod outage and looking at TrueFoundry, Kong, and Portkey

A 15-person ML team is looking for LiteLLM alternatives after a production outage caused by a bad upgrade.
- Their current pain points are unreliable dashboards, routing failures in prod, and too much maintenance overhead.
- The main candidates discussed are TrueFoundry, Kong, and Portkey.
- What they care about most:
- per-team cost attribution,
- observability without adding another tool,
- and avoiding a gateway that becomes a new ops project.
- The post asks for 3+ months of real production experience, not vendor marketing.
