Cloudflare AI Gateway
Cloudflare's proxy for model traffic, adding caching, rate limiting, and analytics at the edge.
Cloudflare AI Gateway sits between your app and model providers, adding caching, rate limiting, retries, and analytics with a one-line change to the request URL.
It runs on Cloudflare's edge network and is a natural fit for teams already on Cloudflare, who get gateway features without new infrastructure.
Where it fits
A fit for teams already on Cloudflare who want caching, limits, and analytics on model traffic with minimal setup.
Where it does not fit
A hosted edge service: less relevant when you need a gateway running fully inside your own environment.
