Aurora pitches a Go-based LLM gateway with routing, caching and guardrails built in
The author introduces Aurora, an open-source LLM gateway written in Go and positioned as a backend layer for AI apps. The pitch is that most developers should not hardcode provider keys or build their own failover and routing logic.
Key features listed in the post include:
- a single OpenAI-compatible SDK;
- provider routing, load balancing and health-aware failover;
- semantic, exact and prompt caching;
- guardrails such as PII redaction and prompt-injection blocking;
- managed API keys, audit logging and usage analytics;
- Prometheus/Grafana observability;
- an Apache 2.0 OSS edition plus enterprise SSO/RBAC.
The author also claims the Go implementation is 55x faster than LiteLLM and shares install options via npm or Docker.
